On Saturday it was time to take down the big Maple in our yard before it decided to come down on its own...on our house. It was a pretty big to-do...it required about 6 guys to help with the process. Gary climbed up the tall ladder and wrapped a rope around the tree while Tony hooked it up to his truck and pulled it while Gary started cutting. Wes, Clayton and Heath were all spotters. Grayson was really enthralled with watching from the front window....that is until the cutting began. Then mom decided it was a little too close for comfort...so we watched from his bedroom window. What a big crash it made!
Turns out that it was a good idea we brought down the tree....the center was quite rotten. Makes for great firewood though!

Yowza! That tree definitely did need to come down. Good call!
Our neighbors did this 2 weeks ago with 3 HUGE Fir trees. It is amazing to watch them come down and shake the earth!
