Pat's House Projects - Northeast Corner of Back Yard
PNM contractors trimmed the pinon tree in our back yard, promising to take out a minimal amount. Well.... That is not quite what they did. Instead, they hacked out a huge amount of the tree. This left it exposed to the Pinon Bark Bettles which had been infesting New Mexico's forests for a year or two already. The combined stresses killed the tree. Pattie and I decided we'd build a fence and make the space in the corner into a patio.
