The big blue spruce wasn't any trouble at all. Jason climbed up the tree as far as he could go and cut the 1st 5ft. off.. it was a perfect Christmas tree! After that top he cut smaller chunks off.. he cut, I cleaned up, Carter supervised!! After we got the BIG one all finished up, Jason was ready to take on the smaller one.. It was pretty tall but very lean. All in all it was probably 1/2 the size of the Blue Spruce. Jason convinced himself that there was no need to scale this tree and cut chunks off like the other one cuz the base of the tree was leaning a particular way and that would redirect the tree away from the power lines.. that and the guide wire in our yard... TIMBER!!! The tree fell right into the power lines.. Luckily enough the telephone pole stopped it from crashing the wires... Jason was then in a mad rush to figure something out ... he got on the skid loader and tied chains to the tree and pulled it away.. My heart felt really funny... I was SCARED!! VERY SCARED!! He pulled it away into a safe zone. Man that could have been costly!! So now the pine trees are gone.. well mostly. The stumps are there until we can rent a grinder and plant some grass seed. We are hoping we can do that this weekend as we are running out of planting time.
