We brought in a 9″ rental wood chipper to help us chew through all the Leyland Cypress and pine branches we cut from the trees encroaching on the driveway.

Ben and Levi helped. It was in the 80s and 90s during the two days we spent doing this work.

Lesson learned: Don’t lean tools against the wheel of a trailer. We punctured the side wall of the chipper’s tire by pulling the trailer forward when a hand tiller was leaning against it. The tire pinned itself to one of the tiller’s tines.
