Don’t end up homeless if something goes terribly, but temporarily wrong.

Obviously you can’t tell when it’s mid-November and all the leaves are gone, but the whole front half right by the road was dead..So we had to have it cut down.

It was quite the impressive operation though!.They started out by using this super-long chainsaw-on-a-stick thing to remove all of the smaller lower branches.. Then, we actually had to  have our power line to the house disconnected so that all the machinery could be moved in closer to the tree..Since Chris was home that day to watch the spectacle, we decided to also paint our kitchen cabinets.

And of course the power was out, so we painted our cabinets basically in the dark because, as you can see, it was a pretty cloudy day.It was also cold and windy so we had to do our work inside.

They turned out really nice though!

More on that soon!I really love this vacuum because it really seems to pick up absolutely everything on the first pass!

I’m no longer going over and over the same piece of lint with a big heavy vacuum 20 times.It’s just one and done!.

After you’ve gone over and tread and before you move up to the next one, make sure you get the riser part of that stair too for a really nice finished look!.Just twist your wrist so the vacuum flips over and the bottom of the motorized tool is resting on the riser of the step and go over that area with a few up and down motions.
