    BD39A05A-F807-4364-ADFE-ABAC9BCB3971.jpeg alright I exaggerated a little bit. A customer asked if I could take down a few of these small trees along her fence line while was there to do leaf cleanup and shrub trimming.

    I’m just glad everything fell the way I aimed it. Never dropped anything before. Feels good man.

    Since its so tall, and big, did you climb it, hang a rope in it and then after the face/ back cut, pull it down , awful close to the house, but, that's how the Pro's might want to do it. Just in case:bug:
