      Odd how trees in the corner of the property would be in the way.. I am surprised they would be able to get a permit to cut those ones down on the hill since they support the hill.. maybe they didn't.. that would be a hefty fine!!

    Those trees would yield some really amazing wood. You could have them milled into paneling or waynescotting. They looked like cedar so they'd smell amazing. Or Cedar siding for the house? It's incredibly durable and weather resistant with just stain. We had it on our house growing up and it was pretty much hassle free.

    • @kimberlyearly8918
      @kimberlyearly8918 19 днів тому +3

      That would've been cool if they were cedar! I'm guessing they were pine. It would've probably been really difficult to get them turned into boards with where they were. I mean, getting them to a saw mill. Would've been awesome wood though!

    That view is STUNNING! Good call on taking those trees down. Coniferous trees can really make it difficult to plant a garden as well, so that will likely save you some grief down the line. I love trees, but trees on your property aren’t anything like trees in a forest. They need to be well planned and considered and then well managed. This will give you a better ability to carefully consider and select the right varieties for your needs and desires. Agreed, it’ll really help the house get dry and stay dryer moving forward.
