Hubs got one of the leaning trees down today. He cut through the roots and pulled it down with the pickup. I missed the fall. Hopefully I can video the next one.

Second tree is down! Yay, such a relief.

Hubs chopped through the roots. It's great that we could use this method, so that the root system went with the tree.

He tied a rope to the top of the tree and ran it through a pulley, then chained it to our pickup.

Down it goes. Sorry it's a little wonky, I was driving the pickup and shooting video at the same time.

Would not have wanted this to get much taller.
