I wonder if attaching them together with a chain at about 30' up would save them for another 30 years?
My folks lot (house I live in now) is 1.7ac. I've got a 30x50 cabinet maker's shop and the 6'x8' chicken house for outbuildings. I still haven't sold my old house, still trying to move my stuff here to empty it in preparation of selling it, but I need to weed out more crap here to make room for my crap from there. I would like to sell my old house this year.
Good luck with the house and the weeding out of crap, something I sorely need to do. Garage is full of stuff from 15 yrs in apt., and 30 of living here. Then I have a lot of things from my parents' house after Mom passed in 2013, also paying for a storage unit full of stuff that I couldn't fit. Still had to walk away from most of it in the end. Hope the flipper who bought it salvaged all the good stuff I left behind.
Now that I think of it, the tree guy did mention about the chain thing. Didn't do it at the time as we were low on funds. I'll have to look into doing it now. Thanks for the reminder!
BTW, my 1/3 acre envies your almost 2. 😢

Not as envious with all the limbs and trees that came down in our last April snow storm. I still have more of that to clean up. Then I can get to the leaves, pine needles and cones, etc that I would normally have cleaned up in May. Bigger isn't necessarily better, in this case it's a lot more work, at least this spring it is. Back in the day my folks would have everything cleaned up and the garden planted by memorial weekend. It's a lot of work for an older guy.
My ex-gf's lot was about 1/3ac. We kept her place pristine. I should have dragged her over here to help me, in retrospect that was pretty one sided.
I'm sure it's more work, but 2 acres isn't that big and it would be worth it to have all that land!

Our parents' generation sure were some hardy stock.

Guess you shouldn't have spent so much time on your knees! 😉😄
