We have two sheds. There has always been a lot of "pig weed" growing rampant between them. This year I put some lumber wrap (i.e., tarps) down between them, with logs holding them down from the wind.

Yesterday I took a small folding saw out, to deal with some vines beyond the second shed. Then I worked my way forward, clearing up to the middle, and then decided to clear that area.

I removed the lumber wrap, and took down two large trees and probably five smaller ones. Plus a ton of vines, several of which were thicker than that largest tree!

I did all that with the folding saw, which meant a lot of squatting, and my ankle's paying for it today.

Later, I finished with the electric chainsaw, taking the limbs off and then cutting them into logs. Had I set out to clear that area, I probably would have started with the chainsaw sooner, at the sacrifice of a lesser workout.

It's so much clearer out there! The garden is beyond the sheds, so each morning's walk going out to water, it is much brighter! :)

I'll heal, and the space will stay clear (perhaps a garden next year?), so it's a win. :) Cheers all!
