My friend helped me cut down a tree in our yard. Half of it split and damaged the house three years ago, and I was dragging my feet cutting the other half down because its a nice tree with late afternoon shade for the house. Now that its gone though, I’m glad. Most of the trunk was dead, only about a two-inch section on one side was alive.
We put a rope up high in the tree around the bigger branches to help guide the tree and tied it to my tractor. We weren’t entirely successful at guiding the tree, as the tree took out the power line when it fell, but I’m thankful we missed the house and shed and no one was injured.
