Stumped?

So the tree removal process started yesterday. Didn't go too well. Husband and friend since 2nd grade tried to tackle the task, but faulty equipment proved a major obstacle. No one really wanted to deal with the old-school ax for too long after both the pole saw and chain saw proved to be inferior to the endurance, thickness, and perhaps stubbornness of the trees.

BTW - the plumbing fixtures did NOT arrive Wednesday. They are now being reported to arrive today. Hmmm......
