Losing big trees is such a bummer, it so changes the area they occupied.

In sorting this place in fl panhandle I had to take down four major oak trees.
They had bad rot in the trunks, still looked good but were a danger to any one or thing in their space. Paid a tree company to take them down and put them on a burn pile
Cost $4k and they knocked it out in a day and a half.

I had to tend the fire for four or five more days.

A week later we had hurricane Michael come thru an take down a couple more small trees. Chopping them up and getting them burned up as well as all the hurricane tree debris scattered all over the yard took another two weeks.

Man did the place looked cleared after all that went down. Actually we still have lots of trees but much more open space too. Two years later Im still adjusting to the change.

Glad you didn't loose your treehouse.
