So I had this big Holly tree next to my driveway. Hung over the driveway, dropped snow all over my truck, would be in the way of the garage I'm building in the spring, and was generally just in a really inconvenient location.
So, let's see what we can do about that.
Before I started.
Now, even with careful placement I was worried about catching my phone/cable/FiOS lines on the way down, so first I did a bit of climbing around, cutting off limbs on that side of the tree.
Fortunately, my math was correct, and it landed exactly where I planned it to. And so it continued.
And done for now. For the first time since I bought the place, I can finally park all my vehicles on the same side of my house.
Now I just spend the rest of the week cutting up the limbs and getting them ready to take to the dump on Saturday. Unfortunately, they close at 3:30 and I get off work at 6:30, so that pile is gonna be there all week. So I'll be spending all day next Saturday taking load after load over there.
