Both K and H worked in the bush back in BC for a number of years before becoming teachers. The fresh air and hard work are something we both enjoyed. So when the opportunity to get a little fresh air, do something useful and get some exercise presented itself nextdoor, we decided to make it a relatively regular part of our lives. Over the holidays, the boys joined us as well. D, being too young to run any machinery, enjoys tea time the most, while M just wants to run something with an engine. At first H was picking up the resulting mess of brush, but now that they have gotten so far ahead of me and the snow is falling daily, both K and H are working on this while the kids are in school.
Part way through the job, J called to enquire about selling the brush as there was so much of it (the previous owner had not kept up with it) and they had just aquired a tractor. He decided that it was worth moving up to the road side so it can be picked up and chipped. The chips are used for biofuel, I think. Anyway, we shifted our focus from cutting to moving all we had already cut and have been doing that for a few weeks now- sounds like a lot but we usually only work for about 3 hours each day, 3 or 4 days a week.
