A couple of weeks ago Andy mentioned that not all roadwork needed big machines:
So today he didn’t get up to the cottage until about 2 pm:
There were numerous other little trees that he just pulled off the road. The good news is the roads were still in fine shape, and the highway crew fixed up the culvert by the highway so he could come home his regular route.
chain saw, muscles, determination – is the game of that game…
I suspect there will be a lot of branches on the ground around my region tomorrow morning – as it is windy, rainy and stormy. According to news people it’s a tropical storm – except I don’t feel tropical as in warm-as.
At certain times, this house is very breezy a lot of old louvres (glass type) on two sides of the house at rear. They don’t open, and they aren’t particularly shut – but they know how to rattle…
With wind the windows rattled & the boards creaked. New houses do that. The rattle-windows got another pane which added insulation.
We used to get a lot more downed trees. Andy thinks it’s because the stripped trunks don’t offer as much surface area.
Our local paper wrote, “In case your rattling windows and runaway garbage cans didn’t clue you in….” You’re not alone with your rattling windows!
major storm here most of last night
howling wind from the SW which always causes the old louvre windows at the back to get a ‘attling. To a point where I went to bed, away in the front of house.
around mid nite a large sort of bang – like something loose hitting the garage door, followed by about 15mins later something else. So had to check through window – polystrene – looked relatively large
this morning I have 2 new friends in the front yard, yes they are large slabs of polytrene!!
Lots of twigs and small branches up and down the street including a lot that travelled up the driveway as well as above…
That doesn’t sound like good sleeping weather! Going away from the windows sounds like a good idea.
LOVE the pictures. We get fallen trees across the road to our cabin but it’s rare & Tom isn’t the one that has to cut them. LOVE the pictures & the greenery.
Yes, Andy “done good” with them.
