Refer to THIS thread for more details. olddirty took on the job apparently, and I offered my help to run the ropes for him, Dieter (CUCV) supplied all good stuff (loader, chipper, truck), and me and Jason brought the sawrs. Started about 10am, it put up a bit of a fight, especially those few butt logs, but had it all down and cleaned up come evening time. Dieter has a LOT of wood splitting ahead of him in the near future.
As sad as some people may be about it, we didnt end up smashing the house. Didnt so much as put a scratch or dent on it in fact.
I have some video of the last few parts of the tree coming down I'll throw together later, but for now, pictures!
The tree, in all its glory.
It looked big here, but in person........looked MUCH bigger.
Dieter (CUCV), and Justin? (olddirty)
Pondering.......olddirty style.
Getting ready to finish off the 2nd top.
I got to bomb the one leader over the driveway, blowing out part of the top here. I put one log butt first into the driveway and managed to blast dirty with a rooster tail of dirt. I think he was spitting sand out for 5 minutes after the fact.
