Our property is very wooded and we are always faced with a tree or two that have died and could potentially take out the house, barn, or fence. Well, this tree had been dead for awhile (you can see that the trunk is hollowed out) and since it was right next to the new chicken coop Dave built, he felt like it needed to come down. Unfortunately, I did not get a "Before" picture, but we do estimate the height of the tree at about 60 feet. Dave pulled back the fence around it, calculated the direction he wanted it to fall, hooked up a rope to our Tahoe to keep it from falling where it wasn't supposed to, and dropped it right where he wanted it! Go Dave!
The tree was so dry and brittle that it broke into all these pieces when it landed!
We've definitely got a year's supply of wood for burning!
