Walt Kowalski and Chain Saw Johnny were at it again this weekend. There are (were) one dead and two dying pine trees on the back hill.
Then comes the blessing of the tree. He'll look at the trunk to get a good idea of where to notch so it falls in the right place.
Exactly where we planned. Between the two trees we wanted to save and the forsythia bush and away from the house. As with so many others, if it would have fallen in a storm, it would have hit the house.
This pine was so dead you could break the large branches off without using a saw.
Here is the after view. The sun came out just in time for a photo. Yes, now we have to look at the ugly shed and fence on the neighbor's property. But now the two little trees can have room to grow.
A well deserved momentary break to plan the next branch.
Chain Saw Johnny even got to use his winch. Instead of hanging on the rope, the truck was used as weight and Chain Saw Johnny could tighten the cable as the branch was cut.
Going.
FYI, Walt Kowalski didn't JUST about killing trees. Some of these trees have the ash borer, others are growing over the fence into the neighbor's fence and yard. Then others are putting the Cat Ranch in danger if there was a bad storm.
Walt Kowalski reminds me of how many nice trees there are at the tree store. Especially ones with fruits, berries, and pretty leaves.
