Lumberjack Weekend

Steve went up to the cabin Friday and Saturday and had a lot of help from friends, neighbors and family to clear the fallen trees from the driveway. We still don't have electricity, so the kids and I didn't go up. This was supposed to be a girls' weekend with my friends up at the cabin, but since it turned out to be a boys' lumberjack weekend, the kids and I went to my sister's house.

Here are pictures of my dad helping Steve out on Friday. Thanks Dad for all your help!


Our driveway is now lined with stacks of cut wood and piles of brush.


This just looks like an impossible mess to me!



The neighbor brought their jeep over to move some of the larger pieces out of the driveway.





Steve awoke Saturday morning to the sound of chainsaws. Three of our cabin neighbors had come over and finished clearing the driveway. We are so fortunate to have such nice and friendly neighbors!

We are also fortunate to have nice friends that came up to help on Saturday. Now that the driveway was cleared, it was time to start on cutting up the trees in the yard.






I never realized our soil was so sandy. Steve said it was like fine beach sand.












All the guys got a lot done, even though I know there's still a lot more work to be done. Steve was exhausted when he got home Saturday. I'm sure all the other guys who helped out were, too. Thanks so much to everyone who helped. We really appreciate it!
