    No that was the last of the stuff I could get to with the loader and we were out of room on her land to stack it. So I got to keep it. It's all trunk and the logs are 20-30" and 12' long!

    Few more pics, the one of me up in the tree is crawling back down the tree from rigging at around 90'. the crane operator was great and a good operator makes a world of difference in how things go on a removal. The picture of the main trunk coming down shows the height. That was cut about 6' below the crotch where it split into two tops.

    Sure wish you lived close Sean. I have some trimming to do. Was going to do it this month but may have to wait until Spring. Hope the tree will wait...
