The Tree

When we bought the place, we knew that tree had to come down before a storm dropped it on the house. With a month of talking and planning, the day finally came windier than we liked but here. Andy (Concord Father-In Law & All around great guy) and I pre planned, sharpened and tuned the chain saws, gathered a plan and cut. This was the process: 1. Prepare Equipment 2. Plan 3. Cut limbs (only ones that need cut high and low) 4. Drop half thats leaning toward house (used cable to pull as I cut) 5. Drop main portion (Also had saftey cable)

The almost finished product. This wood will go to great use: our wood stove. I still have some cutting to finish, then lots of splitting and stacking, so it can season before winter.
