Good progress the last couple of days. The sun has been doing its work making the snow go away. Renee and I have been cutting bigger and bigger trees (see picture of 20 inch diameter, 75' tall tree). Now using a steel cable and the jeep winch to insure trees go the way we want. Most are leaning uphill (due to the wind being that way most of the time) and want to fall that way (into the power lines). Also had to buy a bigger chain saw (more power!!!). Plan to have Xcel drop the line to the house next Wednesday so we can cut the two biggest trees.
