Taking the Trees Down

So, this project started because we needed to rebuild the deck. Liz and I figured looking at some of the trees leaning towards the house and the deck that about 1 min. after the deck surface was rebuilt one of the trees would fall and destroy the deck.

We asked our contractor for recommendation for a tree guy, “yeah they got a pretty big truck”. A number of these trees were hundred feet tall and I wondered how they would get to the top to cut them down. They arrived at 8:30 in the morning and 8 very large trees and all of the men and the debris were gone by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Here are some of the pictures from that day.

That tree was hollow!!!

Attach a HUGE crane and cut it off
