The tree killers came today :-(

So sad.

We're adding an extension to our house, whoever built it really didn't situate it well so the only place we can add the extension is where one of our big oak trees happens to be.

Up he goes...

We have a lot of trees on our property so we decided to have the tree cut limb by limb so that it wouldn't take down too many surrounding ones as it came down.

This is one of the limbs which sure didn't look this big when it was up there!

All done & waiting for the excavators, sniff sniff.

I will say it was pretty interesting to watch & the limbs that were coming down were as big as small trees. Hubby has already cut down about a dozen small ones but this one hurt a little bit.
