Apparently You Can Get Rid of Anything on Craigs List!!!

So my yard had sooooo many palm trees. Someone went a little palm crazy. They are so tall that Craig can't trim most of them anymore. I got a letter from our HOA that they needed to be trimmed.....so I put them on Craigs List.....and voila I had a couple of people that wanted them. It was quite the affair! We had 4 that we were getting rid of in the front yard and 9 lining our back wall in the back yard. They had guys come in and dig around the tree for a couple days (we had thirteen palms), then they came in with a crane and pulled them outtrimmed them up and loaded them onto a flat bed to haul away. We liked watching the crane....hoping they wouldn't hit our house or anything else. Now we have planted a little garden where the some of the palms used to be. Hooray for Craigs List! My brother and his family were here during spring break and they helped us so much getting our yard put back together and getting the garden in. Thanks guys!

Never would have guessed or thought to sell palms on Craig's List. Hooray for your little garden:)

Thats amazing. Palm trees on craigslist. Hmmm... Hope your foot is doing ok. Are you going to need surgery or just the "camwalker" for a while.
