Look whats in my backyard....

removing this damn headache tree of mine....





Not any easy one. Truck had to go behind my neighbors house into their backyard to get the bucket truck to this position. My fence and their fence had to come down. Sadly I had to pay extra for the bucket truck because the center leader of the tree was rotten and gone. Therefore, the guys could not secure a safety rope to the center leader and cut each limb as they scaled the trunk. To make things worse it is a sycamore and these trees have nasty type powder on the leaves that make you cough like no tomorrow. Glad to see the tree go. It was a crushed house or hurt person waiting to happen. In the last two weeks two large limbs came down from the storms. No damage other than a fence panel came down when I was cutting up the first limb. I can only dodge a bullet so long. Well squirrels, time to find a new home.
