Today the clearing of the lot began. We've waited 11 years for this but it is a frightening thing to watch the destruction. The taller trees will be topped by a "Feller" but for today it was all about the excavator pushing, pulling and uprooting the small cedars and the red alder. The pictures above were taken in April of this year, our lot from both directions. The shots below are from similar angles taken today as the excavator worked.
Clearing back to the 18m setback from the creek will take the better part of this week. The brush and small trees will become fire wood or will be chipped. The large maples and cedars will remain on site to be milled for use on our house.
