treehuggers

The guys from Eastside Tree Works came out Saturday morning, climbing up trees like monkeys. Cables were strung to nearby tall trees to lift the downed tree away from the house.

Sections of tree trunk were cut to reduce the weight while the top was still supported by cables. A rare sight - Buddy with hands in pockets watching someone else work.

The tree finally on the ground, the fun begins! It didn't take long to clean this up, the tree service even brought a chipper to make short work of all these limbs.

The end result of a couple of long days.

As we often say, it could have been a lot worse. So glad the tree did not hit the house or do any damage.

Thanks to the mighty oak for the years of shade to keep us cool, and for the big stack of firewood to keep us warm.

Especially thanks to Eastside Tree Works for a job well done.
