Hurricane Sandy Cleanup: Have Chainsaw, Will Travel

Sorry, loyal RI Future readers, who were no doubt hoping to catch up on the latest news concerning progressive politics in Rhode Island … instead of spending the day in front of my laptop blogging about all that, I feel compelled to be out cleaning up some the mess that Hurricane Sandy left for us.

I’m going to work for my old boss Matt Largess, an ex-Oregon logger who now now preserves heritage trees in Jamestown, Newport and sometimes Maine and Central Falls, too! We’ll be removing downed trees and taking care of snags such as the one seen in the this picture.

By the way, I stacked that firewood in the picture and, in a way, I’m pretty glad the power lines stopped that second smaller snag from crushing it … I’m guessing the rest of the neighborhood doesn’t agree!!

Enjoy the cleanup, and if you need a tree or a branch cleared out call us: 849-9191 or 533-2722.I’ll try to tweet pictures of some of the storm damage we see/clean up … Short of that, I’ll be back online later this afternoon with more progressive political news.
