Tree Is getting Trimmed...MORE PIX ADDED!

Before...diseased with Verticillium wilt.
Laying on my back on the patio...










During:





Company is called Treescapes...his name is Chris, and he cuts each piece on at a time, carries it in the bucket over to the 'dump' area and drops it, then goes back for another piece. Very nice guy! We are going to have a LOT of firewood! 8)

After pix will come later! (8:-)

Yes, that is one big tree.  That is very nice of him dropping it all in one spot, so it don't give you as many ruts to fill in.  Several of my neighbors have been having trees cut down here.  Damaged from the stoms in 04, and they're dying.

OK...we got home from my Radiation Treatment too late for good pix, so will take tomorrow. (8:-)

It's definitely Bonsai'ed! :o

But Jamie is happy, they left her swing branch intact so she still has her swing. @O@

It's a Norway Maple, well over 100 years old. :)
Still has the old clothes line sticking out of the trunk from the first owner who were my late bosses parents.
It's basically the trunk with a few short healthy branches left now.
Hopefully they will fill out a bit. :-\

Yes indeed, that was excellent "technique".  ;) Nice tree job! Glad Jamie's swing didn't get the axe.

Kaz, Bill will be using a chain saw to cut the pieces up into 18" lengths.
Then he hand splits them with an axe into firewood.
We heat the main floor of our house with firewood most of the winter.

Teresa...yup, it's HUGE!
Even the tree guys said it was one of their biggest yet.

Then anchor guy was SOOO nice too. (8:-)
He showed up with a shirt on,
then took it off once they got working a bit.
I was painting the front door red, since I couldn't go anwhere.
The big cherry picker truck was parked across the garage, and my car was inside the garage.
So I kept myself busy taking pix while waiting for the paint to dry. ;)

Joyce,
Sorry that they had to do that to your tree. :(
But at least the dead stuff is off and you got a little firewood out of it.
It'll grow back O0  --  Have you heard that befoe? ;)
