Tree Removal Now I need to get over there and tie it off. Rope is good, it's right up there with trees on the ground.

Tree Removal That's just phone wire but the 240 VAC service line is just below my head.

Tree Removal I am going to swing myself over to that other tree to tie off my rope.

Tree Removal I made it, let me kick that vine, and kick my foot spikes in to this tree.

Tree Removal The Pine just before an earth shaking thud.

This is why the Catalpa had to come down. The hole went about 20 feet up the trunk. Really not a lot of tree holding that monster up. By the way if it had fell on it's own my house would be bye bye.
