Today we ended up having two giant trees taken out. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but if you've seen them, you'll know how big they are. The one ended up being about 60% rotten at the base and was probably a ticking time bomb. The other is still standing about 20 ft high so we don't know what the base is like, but a few of the branches higher up were hollow. We also had a large pine tree removed since it blocked part of the house and the trees on the lake side got trimmed. We're planning to plant new trees next spring.
The siding crew worked away on the house and got one side and the rear finished. The plumbing crew got the master bath waste lines in. The contractor's crew added molding to the windows where the siding was completed and did a little work inside.
