    And they lifted it over the side of the trailer. Don't think they have done this to often. But they got it done.

    Thats the boss on the left side of the lifting, these guys worked as a team, one running the saw one sending the ropes up the whole thing started at 7am and at ten they drove off.

    A little history about that tree i tried getting everyone of the four people who were in that house next to me since 1971, to cut down the tree none would do it.

    Then in 2007 this last family was living there during the ice storm, that brought down the limp that almost ended me and my dog.

    This was the first time i ever wanted a chainsaw and just jumped into using it, lucky to still have my arms and legs as i sure had no understanding of how to use one, had a fun time getting that PolanPro 18 inch started.

    I cut all the limbs in both our yards he never offered to help any, i just wanted to be a good neighbor and maybe he would take some action regarding his tree that never happened.

    Still later i had to pay $500 to get it trimmed after a wind storm caused damage to my house, ater that my insurance company raised my insurance from $700 a year to $1,700, then the guy next door had it chopped as it looked in the picture and for the last five years just left it.

    City came around two weeks ago gave him 10 days to remove it, or they would have it removed and him charged for the removal.
    Just today happy it's gone and these guys made some money cutting it down.

    Love seeing people not afraid of work! Most would have noodles that 1 piece into 3 or four smaller ones for handling. Not these dudes! Awesome:thumbs:
