It is a very sad day when you have to cut down a big, beautiful tree, but today was one of those days. Our ~50 year old maple tree is dying. Every time the wind blows, another large branch full of leaves falls into the yard (and the wind blows a lot here!) The dead branches aren't falling much, but the ones with leaves are. The tree had two huge branches that go over our house and our neighbor's house. I was getting tired of being afraid of them falling on the houses every time the wind blew. So, it was time to have it cut down. Last night, we went out and took a few pictures of our tree:
For the most part, it was taken down by two men. One climbing and cutting, the other helping guide down branches, cutting them up, and putting them on a trailer or stacking the pieces for firewood. It was quite an amazing sight to watch them work.
All done in one day. We hope to plant new trees this fall.
