Timber!

We had four large Silver Maples taken out over at the Mae Place a couple weeks ago....all way past their prime, and Silver Maples are known to be weak trees anyway..one leaning towards the shed....another leaning toward the house....



Big one just East of the Mae House....this one was a huge tree...last year he had to use the pole saw to do what he could since it was rubbing on the roof...we decided to just take it out since it was likely to fall on something we didn't want it to....here they are getting started on it..

wow!! looks like the house is out in the middle of the prairie or something! Ha! It actually doesn't look this much different....Just the angle I took the picture from made it look so stark.

The house is safer with it gone

and the back ones gone too

I should have took more pictures of the mess....my goodness....this hardly shows any of the tangled mess of branches and logs

Looking like it was a good decision...thinking about what to do with the hollow pieces...should be able to do something creative!


Stump from the biggest one....Can't really tell it but a huge chunk got caught up there in the top and they left it there. Richard was not nearly amused about that was I was! Ha!
