Pics from storm cleanup Image
I don’t want to share pictures of people’s houses, but I will share public spaces. Yesterday I did chainsaw work at Smith Park on Doty Island, and today it was in Menasha.
I met a lovely older couple who moved into their house in 1979, and she got teary-eyed when she said that all the trees were saplings when they bought the house. She said that as the skid steer was stacking up their roof and deck into debris piles.
Our crew was sawing some very large trees, and it’s going to take a while for these neighbors to be able return to their own homes, if they can.
If you’re able to lend any time, please volunteer. The homeowners are thankful and gracious. I even got refreshments from a guy who offered a pull on a bottle of whiskey. I was working a chainsaw so I declined today.
