Finishing taking down the tree

Thank you Gordon for the looooong ladder. I was safely tied off with harness and rope.
Still, it is a long way up with a chainsaw in your hand.

All the branches down and now the large limbs and the trunk to go.

Debra was at a safe distance and took these action shots. She also worked tirelessly with me so that we could have the tree down completely.

The tree had cracked a few years ago between the large limb and the other two. Recently it cracked between the two smaller limbs. See picture below

This would have come down in a heavy wind storm when all the leaves were out.
Last week took about 2 hours and today about 4 hours.
