Part time tree guy was in the neighborhood to drop 4 medium size pine trees. The first three went ok but I wasn't around to see how he dropped them. For the fourth and largest I was there to witness the whole debacle. Tree guy brings one of the tow behind lifts and proceeds to take off all the branches up to about 30', the highest the bucket will go, then ties a strap at that height.
Then pulls his truck around back and connects to the strap. He then proceeds to cut a notch, and spends a whole lot of time doing it, I wait for the back cut but he never cuts one. Then goes to his truck and proceeds to pull it over, after a large SNAP here is the carnage:
The tree was supposed to land on the decorative windmill, can you tell what it nailed the middle of?

The stump tells all:

Busted water fountain, it also took out a trellis but was cleaned up by the time I got back for pics.

Why the tree guy didn't ask for the trailer to be moved I'll never know:
