cutting down a tree

The kids in the boom lift
Hitting the fence
Last week my husband undertook the project of taking down the tree in our backyard. It is almost all dead so we were afraid that it could come crashing down any time. It is a huge tree about 50 ft tall. So with the help of Jake and Scott they took it down. And with the rental of a boom lift. There were alot of scary moments like when Jake didn't run away as one of the branches came down and almost got hit. Or when one of the branches went the wrong way and if it hadn't been for another branch would have cashed into our neighbor's yard. Oh and the pictures above of it falling into the fence. But it is mostly down now which is a relief.
