[thewoodlands]

Are you taking down the whole tree.

[loon]

as its a very nice tree and if i can deal with the limb on the right the tree is going to fall into the woods some day with the lean it is on ;-)

With the weather we have been having lately Loon, I can see why you want to deal with it sooner than later. Looks like a few days burning in that limb...................

 

[loon]

ya its one of those things a guy puts off till its too late :shut:

might start it this afternoon cause as right now i have to go and check on the cottage..

my buddy sent me this picture of his dock and i am only one lake over.

Looks like both you fellows have your work cut out for you.

 

[loon]

met him on the road as we were going to our place and like you can see in the picture a large pine dropped which was rooted with the birch which was chained to the dock ;-P and luckily the big tree missed his house ;-)

and also luckily his pontoon boat was over at one of his neighbors.

got to our place and the only problem there was the lawn needs cutting :cheese:

Looks like a nice lake Loon.
