Saturday's tree cutting was slow. More planning was required. The tree is tall. The wind was windy. Every time Walt Kowalski climbed the ladder with the saw the wind kicked up again. He was swaying with the tree.
It was a beautiful day. Look how blue.
Walt Kowalski trimmed the smaller branches and let them fall. But the larger branches required planning.
After a few misplaced drops and near misses, a controlled fall was the plan. They would tie off the branch, using the tree and phone pole as pulleys to lighten the weight.
The Walt Kowalski would make the cut (hoping his saw didn't get pinched between the branches by the weight of the tree.)
Then it would be slowly and carefully lowered to the ground.
The other reason for lowering was to not smoosh the boxwood shrub directly beneath. Smooshing of shrubs has occurred recently in the past. I was not pleased. Walt Kowalski received the laser beam eyes from me. He knew he'd be going to the shrub store.
Smoosh is a technical term.
