They said they take down the four lines of barbed wire, would pull up the fence posts, pull the wire back into the paddock, drop the big boy and cut it up, then replace the fence. How long? An afternoon and the following morning. Sweet. Here is a look at the tree leaning... She's a big 'un.

They got busy, and within an hour or so, were ready to start cutting. The young man knew his bidness, and cut his notches, cut a deeper notch, cut in from the lean side and then from the safe (er) side and then cautiously added depth to the back. Cut, wait. Cut, step back and wait. Cut, and step back and ... Loud Groan..and she went. Exactly where they planned. It is hard to tell from the picture exactly how big the tree is, but both of the men in the pic are OVER six feet and the one man is six plus and about 250.

Here, I had Miss T stand by the tree at the stump... it's a very big tree. The sister tree is staying, provides a nice shade to the front yard and all the acorns fill the front yard with deer.

Once cleanup is done, I'll post another pic. Tina helped them load the big 18 - 24" logs on their trailer with the tractor. They were rolling them up a wooden ramp.
