Bob used a high-powered, $22K Carlton to grind out unsightly stumps left over after three large trees were removed from my yard in beautiful <a href="http://www.lakeandcityhomes.com/sunset-village.php">Sunset Village</a> last week, as well as three fruit trees that had died over the past several years (further evidence that I am no green thumb). </p><p>Mr. Schwab, who worked as a foreman for TDS for 37 years prior to starting his own business, is a stump grinder extraordinaire. He maneuvers his equipment with such prowess that it is quite a sight to watch. At one point he had to drive his Carlton through a fence and position it into a small, narrow corner where he was constrained not only by the house but by a retaining wall and a fence. Utilizing five different levers with the dexterity of a classical pianist, Mr. Schwab was able to quickly remove the bulk of a large stump that I thought there was no chance of even reaching. All in all he removed six stumps from my front and back yards for a very reasonable price. </p><p>I recommend calling Bob Schwab of Schwab Stump Grinding, LLC at (608) 849-4856 for fast, friendly, cost-effective stump removal!</p></div><br /><div> <div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;">Jolenta Averill, MBA, Broker<br />GRI, CRS, ABR, CHMS, e-PRO<br />Lake & City Homes Realty</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;">301 E Sunset Ct</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;">Madison, WI 53705<br />Cell: 608.628.9701<br />Fax: 608.230.5554<br /><a href="http://www.lakeandcityhomes.com/">www.lakeandcityhomes.com</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><a href="http://www.lakeandcityhomes.com/"></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.Facebook.com/365ThingsMadison">www.facebook.com/365thingsmadison</a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.Facebook.com/365ThingsMadison"></a></span><a href="http://www.LinkedIn.com/in/jolenta">www.linkedin.com/in/jolenta</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><a href="http://www.LinkedIn.com/in/jolenta"></a></span><a href="http://www.Twitter.com/jolenta">www.twitter.com/jolenta</a></div><span></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jolenta/M9fHQs8M0DVXjUbv0C9VHbvojoAVLEJzd9yfVSgvWQPCa2kTBH5U8WI71bkn/image.gif" width="230" height="141"/> </span><div style=""><div style=""><div style=""><div style=""><div style=""><div style=""><div style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><br /><i>Homes that fit your lifestyle!<br /></i><p></p><p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>jolentahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08006224143120718716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306402467585507729.post-20125133606686263872010-09-04T16:08:00.001-07:002010-09-04T16:08:58.789-07:00Taylor Swift on cello & violin<div class='posterous_autopost'><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jolenta/ikU3aUng9FHSsGJR8o4klAfb7ZRr6aH06C1uLWO0Q3woU1YulbRbFqbMyQqs/photo.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg'><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jolenta/Qf9gW2iV12STBpX9gTJMMc67mzcQC5KEQRJYvpiSfIy6kqdC3ZMxw1wFtCBN/photo.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" height="669"/></a> <p>Who woulda thunk it? <p /> Jolenta Averill, Broker <br />MBA, GRI, CRS, ABR <br />Lake & City Homes Realty <br />LakeandCityhomes.com <br />LakeandCityhomes.com/blog <br />Facebook.com/365ThingsMadison <br />Direct: 608.628.9701 <br />Fax: 608.230.5554 <p /> Homes that fit your lifestyle! <p /> (Sent from my iPhone so even more curt than usual)</p></div>jolentahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08006224143120718716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306402467585507729.post-71163716545712390902010-09-04T11:12:00.001-07:002010-09-04T11:12:59.398-07:00Taste of Madison starts at 2pm!<div class='posterous_autopost'><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jolenta/WB1Po0HOVXkiBTI57YDhmsEuEVhE3Q3fARhWACYfinkDXrdBjH0Ll6UUaKvo/photo.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg'><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jolenta/MaptkN5oEDV7yOBB68VXVxgre9dp4JjhZo5VhSjv08iQPh82r4CLsq3RDZEf/photo.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" height="669"/></a> <p>Jolenta Averill, Broker <br />MBA, GRI, CRS, ABR <br />Lake & City Homes Realty <br />LakeandCityhomes.com <br />LakeandCityhomes.com/blog <br />Facebook.com/365ThingsMadison <br />Direct: 608.628.9701 <br />Fax: 608.230.5554 <p /> Homes that fit your lifestyle! <p /> (Sent from my iPhone so even more curt than usual)</p></div>jolentahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08006224143120718716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306402467585507729.post-33691992776067725732010-08-31T11:14:00.001-07:002010-08-31T11:14:07.440-07:00Goodbye bothersome birch tree<div class='posterous_autopost'>Dear Birch Tree, <p /> You grew into my sewer line and caused my finished basement to flood, you grew into the power lines forcing the City of Madison to amputate half your branches (as retaliation you barfed orange foam from your trunk for 3 months), you grew directly over my house dropping branches & seeds on my roof, in my gutters, and on my car year-round, you threatened to fall on my house during every thunderstorm, and you turned my driveway orange every fall with your hideous worm-like droppings.
