A Nanaimo couple has taken a chainsaw to an old cedar tree in their yard. But it's not what you think.
A Nanaimo couple has taken a chainsaw to an old cedar tree in their yard. But it's not what you think.
The plan wasn't to get rid of the tree, rather, it was to give it a new lease on life with a creative transformation.
Vern and Gail Lambourne have lived in their north Nanaimo home for more than three decades.
"There were a few trees that were here alright," said Gail.
Those include a beautiful cedar tree that they loved. But recently, it started to take away the sunlight.
"The grass wasn't growing properly or things like that either because there was so much shade," said the homeowner.
The couple had the tree's branches removed and wanted a creative way to salvage what was left of the beloved tree.
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
