One less tree



We've had a tree by our "Springy Chair Garden" that's been slowly dieing on us. It was finally time to have it taken down and the guys were here this morning to do it. He took it down the hard but safer way - a bit at a time. We also had another tree topped off and will probably have it taken down later. This is the picture where the air is full of chips from the chain saw. It's scary - but very impressive - to watch these guys work!

Looks like a dangerous job!

The tree in the top picture is just behind the deck. He cut this almost all the way through, then cut off the saw and pushed the top of the tree gently over. It was attached by rope and ended up hanging at about the level of his feet and the whole tree was swinging back and fourth. I went back in the house and tore up the check I'd already written and wrote another one for $25 more.
