Are you going to take that down yourself?


Have't decided yet, probabbly not I don't know what my insurance co. would say if I landed a tree on my house. :zip:
 
Yup - time for that tree to be dropped! Red oak? Cheers!
 
At least is has a decent lean to it so you know where it will drop. Good luck.
 
I bet you could wedge her to fall right down the driveway, away from the well; but then again, I am gambling with your home, not mine :)
 
I know it looks easy I probably will do it myself they usually go wher I want em to; I have a friend coming by next week and I will get another set of eyes on it.

:bug:
 
Yup looks like red oak to me.. That is one big heavy tree that needs to come down but I would get a pro too... At least it will be convenient to get it into the wood shelter :) Oh nice shelter too btw!

Piliated woodpecker?


I have more baby woodpeckers this year than ever.
 
Stack up some fire wood around the well, just in case.
Can alway cut off most of the limbs & take it down in sections.
Notch & cut then pull sections with a long rope.
I've done that with a few that were close to the house.
Takes more time, but safe. (if you are comfortable up in a tree cutting) Just stand on the tree side of the limbs lol ;)
PS: don't forget to move the white car :lol:
