Gorgeous tree. Why did the owners want it cut down?

see that deck? they had to cut into the tree as it grew to keep it, it was dropping limbs on the AC unit and getting into underground gas lines, also had a rotten out stump which was totally hollow and snapped one of the 2 cables in it
awesome tree, hate to see it go, but it was only a matter of when, not if it was going to fail sending a stem right onto the house, and you see the size of the stems!
we also removed about 32 pine and cedar trees for these people, my biggest job to date, I think in total we had around 15 loads of chips, 2 full days crane rental, 10 trailer loads of logs and 3 guys working full time
would have been less crane rental time if I rented an 80 ton instead of a 30 but the driveway was pretty crappy and the 80 would have broke through it.
EDIT
also, stairs on deck for scale, that's a big tree! they asked about stump grinding, when it came out to 12ft @$6 an inch they decided not to have it ground, and I think thats really cheap, I think normally stumps are around $10 an inch but my stump guy gives me a discount since we are friends and he lives really close to where I do most of my jobs
Howdy, neighbor.
