I told you so.....


The Chinese man wants to help me with that tree.
it is going alright, just little by little i get there...
No hurries!

So, we went to look at the tree.
He told me; THát? Is not a big tree, at all. LOL

Like his wife, his knowledge of Dutch is a bit off
I dó understand them both, so that is no problem.

He does not ask me, what my plans are, how i am going about to kill that tree.

He just takes over the whole project

I dare to bet, that if i was a guy, they would have consulted each other, about how to tackle this project.

I cant stand such a male behaviour!!
I have to clamp my mouth shut!

The thing is, they are not even aware of this behaviour!!

Dont get me wrong.
I truellly appreciate his help
Only he is not helping mé,

He makes it his project
as if i am no longer able to think of any kind of strategie to handlle all that wood!
Cant stand such male behaviour

It is alright, i will let hem do, what ever it is, that he is planning to do
I will ask about his strategie, though, before he climbs those ladders...
i want in, on my project, gown damn it)

BUt!
I will be all nice, about it.

I know, this is also about them wanting to do something back,
since i helped his wife and while she was soo terrible sick with cancer.

I dó understand their motivation.
I mean, how many meals can she cook for me, to do, back, what i did for them?
This is not something you can put on a balance/ scale and make it even...

So, i will forgive him his macho behaviour, whahaha,
although he is totally NOT a macho man at all
He is just in command, that is all....
Cant help himself.

I told you so!

He tells me; two hours, and we are done!
I think he is crazy! Lost his mind!

With a project like this, you can not rush in and jump at it
You have to have a plan and also have a safety plan.
Take your time. look, plan.

It is not trimming some small rose bush?!
You are more then 20 meters of the ground!
That is a long drop, when things go wrong!

Well, for now, i am off the hook, or, he is? hahaha
we decided Januari will be good, to start this.

So, that gives me some time, to trim/ cut more branches off this tree
Climb higher.
Because i really enjoy this whole process of demolition this tree.
It is also a challenge for myself, see if i can do this, step by step
I like challenges like that.
There is no competition.

I love doing this on my own.
They dont understand, it is not a haste job, there is no hurry.

All and everything is competition, in their world.
Drives me crazy, sometimes

There is no joy in having to compete all the time, about everything.
even compete against a tree??? !

I want to enjoy this job!!
No matter how long it takes!
Sighs.....

I will gracefully accept his help.....

He was also already planning how to dig the roots out!!
The roots die off, eventually!

While i want to leave a part of the trunk in, to make a new bird feeder table.....

I think if i would have him, have his way, he was already landscaping my garden!

it's a tough time to be a man, everyone gets offended.

But most guys will listen if you tell them what you're thinking. This is how I want it done, can you help ?

I can't recall if the tree is down already, but be careful he has a plan so it doesn't
fall on your house. Don't ask me how I know about that

boh,
Not if you still able and willing to grow and learn, with the ever changing world.
It is a time of transforming, transformation.
A lot of things change and that is a good thing, most of the time...

No, the tree is still up and standing, a bit dismantled, though,
It really looks very sad!

Aah, yes i checked out, wich direction it needs to be cut, to let it fall in the garden of the neighbour, or mine.... not on the roof of my shed or house!
I know the place , angle where to cut!

And i think, this man knows that too.
(did this kind of work, too, before)
