I didn't think to get any before pics but here's my backyard after 6 trees taken down. They might be down but they are still here :) A little bit of a mess yeah, but we'll take care of that soon. It's going to be sooo much nicer back there once we get it all cleaned up. A lot more sunlight and a nicer lawn. Not to mention more 1:18 scale track area :)

The 3 are from above, standing on the railing of our deck.

Fun fun!
 
lol i know all about the fun of clearing. i was on a fire prevention crew for a few months and have done firewood work since i was like 12 lol. GREAT fun.
 
Rent a wood chipper and a large truck, then go to town. Are you doing the clean up yourself or hiring out?
 
Holy crap that's a lot of brush to haul away! I'm getting tired just looking at it. LOL

Looks like there will be plenty of room for that track though!

My father-in-law is coming up in a week and together with my neighbor we'll break it all down. We give all the wood to our neighbor for him to burn throught the winter.

yeah buddy! With the trees taken down it really opens up the space. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to go about it quite yet but I definitly have some options now :)
 
I was at the LHS last week and I never really paid much attention to the 1/18 scale rigs they have there. But since I've been on this forum I started looking at them more closely. They look like a blast, ahhh how to explaing to the wife that I need yet ANOTHER rc......LOL.
