We've had a very tall tree behind our house which has worried me ever since we moved here. It didn't look truly healthy right from our move in 2006, but it was partly green and seemed to not sway too much in some of our heavy winds. Last summer it died. It's a little unfair to local faller, Rob, to say that he killed the tree. He did bring it down on Friday. It took him about 30 minutes from start to finish - this picture shows him after he shimmied up the tree, tied on a rope, took himself down and started to pull the tree to the empty spot we wanted. A bad fall would have this tree hit the house. He didn't spend more than a couple of minutes with the chainsaw but he brought it down exactly where we wanted and our view to the nw looks a whole lot better. Thank you, Rob!
