The Yard Man Cometh

I woke up that first morning in the house to find Scott had been up since 6:30 (it was now 8:00). He had been working in the yard already chopping down shrubs and bushes left and right. He was drenched with sweat because the day was so humid. Clark was watching him tethered to an in-ground stake. As a reminder, here is the house BEFORE he started...

and here is the AFTER...

Clark looking on with the cut down bushes by the wayside...

He was doing all this with a HAND SAW! Poor thing, he got blisters on his hands. I went to Home Depot and bought him a new toy, a Milwaukee brand reciprocating saw.

They're typically not used in the yard but I Googled if it was possible to cut branches with them and the answer was 'yes, if you use the right blade'. The next time he worked in the yard it worked like a charm to cut down the stumps. He cut down EVEN MORE branches on other trees...and I don't think he's done!
