Sorry guys, I just had to do it  Rented a skybucket and trimmed all my trees this weekend. Carefully shaped them to be "pinapplesque". Now I need to haul off that mountain of palm fronds

They're only pokey for the first few feet (not like date palms). BigT, I know this probably belongs in another forum but... I had done a search earlier (TC and internet) on how to make thatched roof out of palm fronds but didn't find anything. Any tips?
