The Big Tree Comes Down!

View from the back porch

This is the tree in my neighbor's yard. It was 124 feet tall, and 15 feet, 11 inches around the base. The unfortunate thing is that the tree was dying. The top was dying more and more every year. It needed to come down.

The logger cutting down the tree in front of the big guy.

Lon looking out at the loggers. It was the coolest thing to happen in the front yard in a very long time.

The little tree is down and the branches are starting to be cut off the big tree. If you look really close, you might see the logger in the tree.

Looking at the progress from the back porch.

The sky is SO much bigger, the branches keep falling. He landed the branches in a very neat pile, very accurate.

Down to the spar.

Just a little more to go. The front yard gets alot more sun. It is amazing.

Lon had a good time watching them.

The rest of the tree is now down and they ground the stump. The loggers did a good job. I am sorry the tree had to go, but it was better it went this way then landing on my house during the next big wind.
