nina crane 10/11/2019 12:34 PMI love walking. In my job I need to get lots of invoices signed, so I do a lot of walking. Great to enjoy both work and exercise at the same time! -
nina crane 10/09/2019 11:10 AMLast weekend I had 2 huge trees on my front lawn cut down. I had the wood chipper shoot all the wood into an area where it will melt into the ground giving me great gardening soil for the future. I'm sure that the logs will be put to good use by any neighbor fire stove or wood carver. -
