Backyard Blitz Begins

It's gonna be a fun day.

Out front, the road crew that's upgrading Johnson Ave is hard at work. Sometimes they turn up, sometimes they don't. But today they're at it full force.

Hope the road will be clear at school pick-up time. Yesterday they closed the left turn in the morning and the right turn in the afternoon, so I had to back out via the Barber Rd exit and come back in by the vet's.

Back of the house, the crew from Jim's Trees is about to take down ten of our trees as contracted.

It's already 1.15 pm. They said they were coming at lunchtime and I forgot to ask what that meant. We'll see if they can keep it under 2 hours as promised before I have to dash out for the school run.

The two guys that came (one angmoh, one Indian) are very polite. I was asked if I could remove my car from the driveway so they could reverse their truck in (a really long one with trailer attached) without scratching my car. They'll be working from the pergola out to the backyard.

The drilling sounds have begun. I've kept Scottie indoors so he won't jump on the tradies. But he is so not liking the noise.
