New bulldozer guy scheduled for Monday or Tuesday

June 20, 2013 by Rachel

Rod is our new guy for clearing our driveway! He has a 45 ton International bulldozer w/ a 13.5′ blade. He was referred to us by several people and we like him.

It is good that the work didn’t get done last Friday because we had only scheduled a small excavator and we added another leg to the driveway this morning. We will hand clear that portion today (Thursday).

Friday morning is a P.E.O. event at the zoo with Mark. Then we will collect tree ferns at a forest preserve. Invasive eucalyptus trees were planted there and will be clear cut. The Forest and Wildlife people issue free permits for removing tree ferns (Hapu’u) from that preserve. We think growing and clear cutting is the opposite of preserving the land, but we are glad to rescue these ferns. The trunk gets about a foot taller every ten years. A ten foot trunk would be a 100 year old tree fern, and MUCH too heavy to put in our truck.

One week ago yesterday was King Kamehameha Day, and with a permit, we harvested 10 tree ferns. The largest was a 4-5′ trunk which we named King Kamehameha and we got it from the “K” road. I posted several pics of last week’s tree fern adventure on Facebook.

Saturday all day and Sunday afternoon, we’ll focus again on preparing for the dozer. We need to disassemble, move, and reassemble Max so that the high spot it is on can be cleared and flattened.

Much love to all!!

    Dear Mark and Rachel,

    We know the work will get done in a harmonious way and it looks like you have a better contractor lined up now.

    Love,

    Mother
