Today's excitement was provided by a very large Basswood tree at Bob's house. The tree has been hanging over the house more and more and it was time to come down. When most people were watching football, we were watching a skilled tree man at work. Bob's nephew Paul is the man in the tree.
He's about 60 to 70 feet up in this tree. He had two young helpers on the ground manning the ropes.
In this picture, you can just see Paul on the right side of the tree, towards the top.
Here he is coming down and getting ready to start sawing the bottom.
Paul hooking the ropes to Bob's tractor. This is not the first tree to be hooked to this tractor, last year we pulled down the Red Maple and Box Elder at our house.
Getting ready for the pull.
Timber!!!!!!!
The tree fell right were they wanted it to (not on the house!)
The crowd after the fall.
This was a good job done. Bob won't have to worry about the big winds of the winter now. This is just one of the examples of country living. Friends and family have a habit of showing up and lending a hand. A tough job is always easier with the right support.
