The tree must come down

Post from Dave -

We had a pine tree in our back yard that was growing toward the house; in that we had had another one just like it fall last year in a snow storm, we thought it might be prudent to take this one down before it caused a problem...besides Aubrey's room was the closest to the tree and we wouldn't want the princess to awake with pine needles in her hair. : )



We first trimmed the limbs from the bottom up toward the top.  


We had Jamison and Alex helping with the limbs and other things.




Finally I climbed way to the top of the ladder and topped the tree and by luck it landed where I wanted it to and no propery or person was hurt. (Neala was very happy about this)


(Note that Alex was not standing there when the top of the tree came down. Neala made sure he was an extremely safe distance away.)

Back on the ground I felt safe!


It is but a stump now but we all feel much better.  Neala is barking orders to me for the next project!

That's impressive! Now we know who to hire if we ever need to do that. :)
