I love sun spots In the Summer.


There were six trees felled. They were blocking out the light and standing at 100 ft tall, between the cottages.
Variety: Citca Spruce. Age: 71 years.



Here you can see an almost completely knot free 16 foot length of trunk. If all goes well tomorrow this will be cut-up into the greenhouse roof beams. they need to be in one piece, with no knots. That goes for any of the timbers that are not secured to any of the walls of the greenhouse, to avoid warping in the heat. thats the plan any way :-)



Here is the saw in action. Squaring up two sides.



This is the ridiculously big breakfast I had this morning. :-)



To finish. A nice picture of the newly painted end of the cottage, with the evening sun casting the shadow of the trees to great effect.
