Pittsboro, NC

 Started the day early - it was "free mulch day" at the Chatham county recycle center.  Duane borrowed the nice dump-bed trailer from our neighbor.

 

First of four loads.

That project took up most of the morning as the pickup point is about 15 minutes away.

Spreading out the mulch will be a project for a different day.  I heard the chainsaw going at the front of the house.  There is a beautiful pin-oak there that is part of the "sidewalk issue".  The root from the oak is pushing up part of the sidewalk....even though it's a beautiful tree that was just a sapling when we moved in 30 yrs ago....if you look close you can see Duane in the blue shirt cutting the notches to make sure it doesn't fall towards the house.

Here's a zoomed-in view.

Lots of brush to drag away....

A couple of hours later....

We'll offer this wood up free on Craigslist for someone to come pick up...Busy day!
