Well the trees are down. He tied the big tree to his truck, cut a wedge into it and pulled it down while someone else made the back-cut. I thought for sure it was going to smash the house but it didn't. I was pretty nervous there for a minute. I feel bad that the old tree had to go but it will provide warmth for my family now.
Ill try to get some pics up soon.
They used a Stihl 066 to drop it.
