Another tree into the history books

I have been wanting to cut down this tree

for several years now and did do 

one of the three trunks a few years back.

Marie then told me she wanted to cut

it out due to all of the seeds that were 

coming off of it.

Well that was all it took and I went and got the

chainsaw and had the second trunk down before 

she knew what was happening.

This third trunk however would have taken out

power lines across the street if I had just cut it down.

So with Scott Jeffers help and tractor

I was hoisted into the tree where I cut off

several of the biggest limbs. 

 After that I came down again with the 

aid of the tractor bucket and Scott pushed 

on the tree the way that we wanted it to fall

and I notched it for the same direction and 

miracle of miracles it fell that direction just 

as we had planned it.
