TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!

This lovely dead as a doornail tree has been in our backyard here at Fort Rucker. Every time there is a storm it loses branches. Hallelujah the are finally cutting it down!

This tree stood a little taller than a two story house. The trunk was about 3 feet in diameter. One of the branches that came down a few months ago broke the fence which they had to replace. The guy in the photo took a huge wedge out of the trunk and it fell with a HUGE thud. They made it look so simple.

This guy did the cutting of the whole tree, brought it down with a friend, chopped the whole thing up and then made our yard look more lovely than we had it. Amazing!


They had to saw the trunk of the tree into a bunch of sections so that a fork lift could carry them off.

They left us some good fire wood for our fire pit. Nice guys. The last time a branch fell it almost hit our dog but managed to break an Adirondack chair we had by out fire pit. Thank heavens it's gone!
