We got back from vacation and we saw this sign along with a big red X with a line under it on our very large tree in our back yard. We were very sad that we would have to get rid of this great tree. Who knew that Tree removal was so expensive! After getting a few bids around $1700! Jeff decided he could do it himself. So he looked up how to do it on the Internet the night before- thanks google! And called a friend, (and great home teacher) Kevin Buman and his chain saw and went to town all day Saturday. It is really a miracle that the tree fell where it was supposed to and no one or thing got hurt. Thanks Kevin for all you help. I still can't believe they did it! We do still have to pay someone to remove the diseased tree and disposed of it properly, grid the stump, seed the hole and haul everything away. BUT we did save some $-and Jeff is very happy about that. Here are some pictures of Man =1 ,Tree= 0 (thank goodness)
Timber!

After all branches cut off
pile of branches
good work boys
Go Kevin!
The massive tree down. We took a section of our fence down so the tree fell toward the park pathway. Lots of neighbors came out to cheer them on and to see what the loud crashing sound was.
I did not get a picture of the tree before but the tree was about as big as some of these trees in the back ground

Good work Jeff, so happy you didn't have to visit the guys on hand call. :)
AHH! I can't believe it! I bet your yard looks totally different. We'll have to come check it out! I am glad that your house and husband survived.
