Hey Fellas,
I live in the Puget Sound area and as I'm sure you've heard we got hit by a major windstorm and there are downed trees and power outages everywhere. It is literally an aborists dream/nightmare depending on how you look at it. The problem I have is that I have a tree in my yard that was damaged in the windstorm and needs to be cut down. It is about 60 feet tall and 12" around the base. The felling area is perfect and there are no overhead hazards the problem is that it is now leaning 35 degrees off the verticle (which it originally was,) the base has multiple 4 inch verticle cracks in it at the base on the stress side and is obviously ready to barber chair the first person who touches is it. I would appreciate any suggestions, I am no stranger to a chainsaw or felling trees but have never dealt with a tree that was this unstable.
Thanks
