I have not posted much lately but decided to share a recent experience with taking down a giant oak tree in my front yard. My neighbor and I did the work ourselves. I only did the ground work and narrated the video camera. I'm sure we probably did not do everything perfectly, but we got it down safely. The tree had been dying for several years after the 2008 drought, and last summer the whole upper half dried up. Some of it overhangs my house.
We decided to fell the 70 foot stem uphill in a small landing area that would not cause property damage. We used a 200 ft rope attached to the van and two other ropes to keep it from going left or right of target. Love when a job goes as planned.
