Day 75 Monday

Monday we got up a little bit later than we wanted, Sunday had been a full day. We helped our guests get some breakfast and hot showers, then got on our way to the Training House. We are getting to the point that we would like to be finished with this project, so we are packing a lot of hours into it.


On our way we see something that we’ve not seen before--they are trimming the trees that are on the sidewalks adjacent to the street.  Labor is abundant and cheap over here, so this event looks like a veritable parade of people, at least a dozen. There were guys in the trees with hand saws, there were guys picking up the limbs. There was a dump truck and it’s driver and a tractor with a wagon and it’s driver. 

There were numerous spectators too, but the one that got my attention was the chain saw operator. My dad always joked about never using a broom because it didn’t have a steering wheel. Well dad, today I saw a chain saw with handle bars!! Wonder what kind of leverage you get out of that rig? Not much I bet. I was fortunate enough to get a photo--here it is!
