Getting Things Done || Taking Down the Dead tree ||

[@nbig860]

So nice seeing your whole crew working together 👍😀👏🏻😍💪🏼

[@colombepetite]

Another great video! From William walking away from the big branch, to the broken pot “oops” from Scott and even having Edward make an unexpected appearance, this was a great family video. ❤❤❤❤

[@lanaritter9410]

Awesome outcome, many hands make easier for work!! Everything is looking great❤

[@nancypeteja6560]

Teamwork is the dreamwork!!! Y'all did a fantastic job! Glad Scott & Will lent a hand. All the plants are looking good. One step at a time....getting things done...checking off your list!! Good motivation for us all! Thanks. Enjoy y'alls day!😊❤

[@jillneer7305]

Great job!!! Your gardens are so beautiful Sofia!

[@barbaranielsen2888]

It does my heart good to see all the men in your life helping you with this project! Great Job?

[@louiseeiffel1014]

It must feel really good to have that dead tree removed. A couple of years ago I bought a reciprocating saw to cut down small trees. It's so much easier and faster than sawing by hand. I knew I'd never be able to handle a real chain saw.

[@VegasKiki]

Great job family! It's hard work, especially the clean-up!👍

[@reneewolf1738]

Scott with his t-shirt and protective helmet are an absolute riot 😂 your backyard is such an oasis, you have created such a beautiful space for you and your family ❤

[@juststoppingby390]

Those french drains you put in were such a brilliant investment in time, money and work. You totally reclaimed the land

[@mommargie2679]

Sofia, your backyard looks so beautiful, and what a big difference in your yard now that the tree has been removed (great job)!

[@Stephanieheyl-x6r]

Great video! Looking good! You really should put up a before and after picture of the yard. It has come such a long way!

[@dharmaphile]

Your house, garden and neighbourhood are so pretty. Your hard work has really paid off.

[@annrae1597]

You should get one of those 5 inch chain saws..i got one and I'm over 70 ... they are great for weak arms and an umbrella for over your table for sunny hot days .

[@ReginaCaravetta]

I loved when we’re leaving all the branches on the ground especially the big one and then just turned around and walked away. He’s so funny and he’s getting so big my sons are 62 and my youngest just turned 58 and they’re a wonderful help to me you’re so lucky to have two boys enjoy of my life.

[@AshliNielson]

I bet that wood would smell so good in your outdoor bonfire this summer or even in your chimney in the house this next winter

[@jdawg414]

Garden is so lush! What a difference. ❤

[@sandracollins7938]

Very good job! Looks much better with the dead tree gone. Garden is coming right along, You have a plan & it's getting there-------great going Scott with the tree!!!!!!

[@heidibastawros8722]

I envy people with beautiful gardens because I don’t have a green thumb. My friend will help me this summer. Wish me luck.

[@ralugator]

Well done! Chain saws make me terribly nervous. Try and see how you like it with just the stone mulch - you might decide against building a platform, which can limit how you place your furniture and create tripping hazards. I like the sound of stone/gravel under my feet - it reminds me of French parks.

[@sherryhudson9075]

Sophia, I bought a battery powered sawzall or reciprocating saw years ago. It came with blades for cutting branches I use it all the time when doing my yard work. I cut large roots and small branches with it. It’s a handy tool for a gardener

[@AZHITW]

I came to say the same thing, I used a hand saw for years and when my husband passed away, I decide to try his reciprocating saw and it made pruning so much easier. I'm 75 so anything to make yard work easier. Edit: No sawing motion required with a chainsaw.

[@luella2897]

This would have been a good time to put that firepit to use! Brake out the hotdogs and marshmallows for Somemores!!! 😁

[@catherinerandall1966]

I hear ya about no strength in the arms. I was cutting the grass and backed up. I tripped on a large tree root and fell back. I just had no strength to get up, i rolled onto tummy...Zero strength. I live next to a busy intersection, cars, people drove by. Nobody stopped to help. I was terrified I'd end up sleeping there...i prayed and thankfully I was able to get up. I'm cut and bruised...shee it's hard to be over sixty and alone😅

[@mygreatchallenge]

Oh geez that is terrible. People suck. Glad you re okay

[@barbaranielsen2888]

I know all too well. I amnover 70 now and live alone in a Spanish speaking country

[@karynstouffer3562]

Things are shaping up beautifully, Sophia.

[@juststoppingby390]

Good job Scott it's opened up that corner lively

[@judystahlman1620]

Short but very entertaining. 😅❤😅❤

[@cathypenn1073]

Your garden is beautiful.

[@juststoppingby390]

I like all the sounds of people in the gardens all the mowing and strumming. I love in Spain where I don't hear all that anymore but used to be the sounds of summer in the UK

[@nancyojeda4844]

You guys work so hard are you still in your five year garden plan I have to say I don’t know much about yard work but you’re yard looks beautiful and all the birds thanks for sharing I live in Florida because of the heat. I don’t get to do much yard work ❤

[@flamingodiego]

I would have called my neighborhood arborist... lol

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hello, Sophia! Your garden looks so pretty. You are very creative. You inspire me.

[@JazzyBabe56]

OMG your hostas are simply gorgeous!

[@bethstratton3391]

Well done Sophia and Scott on taking that old tree down. The garden looks so much better without those dead branches diffusing the light. Now you will be able to see the bright blue skies and the all birds flying. It will make a cute little seating area too. Are you going to put a few little pavers down to stand the table and chairs on, or a bit of gravel until you make the deck?

[@reginabeasley872]

Yell geronimo when the tree falls

[@donnaterry486]

Cool.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Hey Sophia!! I got my bed made while watching or listening to you and 2 loads of Ali dry folded and put away! 👍💜👍💜👍💜

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Amazing job…love that the family worked together! 💙🩷💙💙

[@raquelcruz3874]

They are looks great I like it👍🏻❤️

[@judystahlman1620]

That crabapple wood would be very good camp cooking wood.❤❤

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

9:14 ya I have no arm strength either. I bought a set if small weights 2lbs, 3lbs and 5lbs I use them in the pool when I swim! Get yourself a set! You don’t have to lift serous weight ( at our age 🥴) just gentle workout with small weights!!! 👍👍👍👍💜

[@maryfindley434]

Have you considered installing a sprinkler system? Lowe's has a good system and you can design it exactly to your needs. Your yard is beautiful.❤❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

I have but truth is, I really enjoy spending time Watering the yard. It s a zen activity for me.

[@connieverbeck1110]

Great work!! 👏👏👏👏

[@henrikh.4843]

Wonderfull Job Sophia, I need more of declutter . But its ok Thank you for posting.

[@mygreatchallenge]

There isn't much left for decluttering. I have literally been decluttering since 2013.

[@helenhartley6904]

well done, you are really moving through your list!! making beautiful and functional spaces.

[@CJ-bs7zl]

We had the same problem with the chain coming off when we took a tree in our front garden down!

[@zoegoodfellow1988]

With all of your vegetables and plants, I am surprised you haven't made a compost tea setup! It is cheap to make and basically free fertiliser if you want to use solar. Well worth doing, it almost TRIPLED my vegetables last year!! There are tons of videos on KZbin. I also made my own bone fertiliser, but that's more work than you probably have time for, lol.

[@ukpauline3212]

👏👏👏👏

[@nancyojeda4844]

Ok at the end of the video you said 4 years beautiful yard

[@mygreatchallenge]

That s when I started landscaping the yard. Before that it was just a swamp.

[@lydiaesparza9387]

❤

[@deborahshaw9077]

I’m surprised there aren’t screws in the metal tracks of the window. If there are, you tighten the screws as much as possible and then pull the window off of the track🤔

[@reginabeasley872]

Can you use that wood for your fireplace in the winter?

[@mygreatchallenge]

We are keeping the logs. Yes

[@susanhutchinson5305]

You’re supposed to be above what you are cutting so it won’t fall on you !

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Great job!

[@judyavants7928]

Why does it seen that when something die it again a building.

[@annrae1597]

Your yard is beautiful.
