There it goes
Jul. 4th, 2023 02:16 pmYesterday while we were out getting supplies for today's barbeque this happened. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10161320288834283&set=pcb.10161320288869283 . Pretty amazing, huh? The trunk was nothing but sawdust inside. It'd been rotting for a very long time, it looks like.
We had one neighbor come over last night with his extension trimmer, which had a cute little chainsaw at the end of it. Arni headed out and bought a larger chainsaw from Harbor Freight and was up early this morning to work on it - a neighbor across the street saw him on the front porch as he was drinking his coffee and planning his attack on the tree and she hustled her husband and their neighbor into coming over with their chainsaws, trimmers, and water bottles. So starting with the first picture of the tree, you can scroll through and see the crew and how things look now. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10161321974034283&set=pcb.10161321974374283
We still have to deal with the giant trunk from the bottom of the tree. That is going to take a 20" chainsaw, some axes, and a splitter. Luckily we can rent most of that from a local Big Box Hardware store.
Doing the work in 93f/34c temps is rough. It is going to take more than one day to deal with what is still there. We are in the orange range of the wet bulb humidity scale. Our heat index has us at 102f/39c.
