We've been considering remodeling our house for quite some time now and in preparation for this crazy adventure, Jared has been 'anxiously engaged' in many destructive activities involving a chainsaw, hatchet, shovel and pick. He finally conquered the who-knows-how-old orange tree that conveniently decided to become a non-fruit bearing tree the season after we moved into our house (it was right in the middle of our planned master suite anyway). All things considered, Jared is very happy with his work...
Here is a pic of the tree 'floating in water' (or so it would appear).
Jared just had to take this pic the very night that the tree fell (yes, that's right, he usually works at around 8pm at night, spotlight and all - just hope the neighbors didn't confuse him with a gravedigger!)
See the pipe? He managed to find our sprinklers too!
Should be fun lifting this little guy into the trash can!
The Elders Quorum of the Atherton Ward decided to have a testosterone-filled event dubbed the 'Anything Goes Pinewood Derby'. It was awesome! The guy that won had a compressed-air car. Jared's car came in 2nd place! Some other notable cars included a rubber band-powered car (basically a sling shot), a balloon-powered car (didn't do very well) and of course a CO2-powered car (luckily for the rest of the competition, the triggering mechanism for this car wasn't working).
And who could forget the rocket-powered Delorian?
Jared was pretty fond of his car too. Go speed racer go!
The feeling of accomplishment must be AWESOME!!! I know you've been working hard on that darn tree stump! Now what will you do w/your extra time?!
