Well we spent another weekend with friends and family getting more done,One mate turned up with a truck and hiab and another turned up with a bobcat .I got stuck up the top with the hiab cutting down the two big trees.Belive me it felt like a bloody longggggg way up.We have now got to the stage that everything is cleaned up ready for the shed to start.I left the tree trunks at about 2 mtrs and now plan to carve some dolphin,s out of one and an eagle out of the other .this will be a definate trial and error job ,wish me luck All the best to you all till the next edition Karl Ps the date with the bobcat is wrong

[Christos]

It must have been a hell of a view from the lofty heights though:D:D
Those trees look as though there will be more than enough to make a dolphin and eagle and still more..:)

I guess the small coloured articles in the right hands are the welcome soft drink on a warm day after a lot of sweat:o

Nice work, Karl. Normally I'm not a fan of carvings, but I can see that dolphin leaping through the waves! Keep it up.
