In the true British traddition

One works and one sits. My poor next door neighbor was digging out the foundations for building his garage but had to get down to a hard surface. 280 tons of earth (very high quality earth) later and he is still not there. so to get a break they decided to cut down the tree's instead.

So to sum up he no longer has a garden full of earth and now has a garden full of sawdust.
