And they're out!

Chris and I have been wanting to take out two trees in our front yard for a couple years and finally got it done....with some help. Yeah! The roots were coming up all over the front yard even busted our lawn mower. Yay and no more leaves, they dropped a ton of leaves in Autumn. We had the whole family out there working and loading up wood. A friend in our church chopped them down for us. I didn't know or really think it through that he would have to climb the tree. Man that made me nervous. He is such a good guy and sure did appreciate his help. Here's some pics, sorry they're not in order.






He got even higher in that tree, past those bottom three branches and he wasn't tied on to anything. He was up there sawing with one had and the other holding onto the tree. Scary huh?

Is that Timmy? He's crazy! It does look a whole lot better. We had a tree like that in our old house and what a mess it made. Wish we could have taken ours down. Good for you!

Oh your house is beautiful!! I sure love the front of it. And it sure opens it up having the tree gone. So how do you intend to get out the stumps? I've got one in the back yard we still haven't gotten out.
