Who puts pieces of cedar in the recycling bin?
The household garbage bin was changed today, and already has a bed in it. Not sure if the driver lifted it in, or someone dumped it after the bin was changed.
Newish sign that should clarify what goes in and what does not. Someone has cleaned up the debris from the winter careless handling of garbage - hoping it stays clean.
I met my first logging truck of the season, just below 27km, McKinney Road. The signs have been up for awhile, but the road, (trail) has now dried up enough for the big trucks to get in.
Brandon tells me he is generally booked up a month ahead. He has a job booked at Baldy in a few weeks, and would be open to additional bookings while his equipment is up here.

The snow has gone early, time is of the essence to prepare for what could be a bad fire season.
We do not have a burn pile at this time. Larix Tree Services works with our friend Andrew. Andrew falls trees, Brandon is an arborist, has a bucket truck, a stump grinder, and a trailer that hauls a big load of yard waste. His Facebook page notes bringing a chipper on site. He has a small excavator with a rake blade for property cleanup and debris loading.
Brandon also climbs, but less often now that he has a boom truck.
Without a community burn pile, Andrew and Brandon may be able to come up with an affordable plan for your FireSmart clean-up. If you engage them to chip, check with BMR, they have taken chips in the past.
Talk to your neighbour and build a plan to do your work at the same time.
