I have had this project on my "To Do" list since we bought the house in August. It seems this maple tree had some damage from woodpeckers. The previous owner had it "trimmed back", and was told "it may grow back." Well, it never got any sprouts growing, and parts of it were beginning to look rotten and I wanted the space in the back yard .







So after Christmas Day brunch, my friend Jeff and I got a little restless. It was raining, so we figured a hike was out. Instead we ran by his dad's house and grabbed a chainsaw!


Then, back at my house, Jeff climbed the tree with the chainsaw and started cutting..........



The big chunks hit the ground with a thud and left a few divots. Fortunately none landed on any sprinkler lines.

Be sure to play the video of the tree falling! OK, not that exciting.....

We got it all cut down and into manageable sized pieces in just a couple of hours. And, as you can see, the rain stopped.
