Hey John,
Comments are always welcome here...
Thanks for the remarks. Last year I went through our two acres and trimmed up all the trees on our property to give it an open park like setting while providing a defendable fire break here in the foothills. For what it is worth, especially after the Napa fires.
Anyway, we lost those two pines a few years ago and I have just let them be hoping they would topple on their own. The sheer height was intimidating to say the least. Besides, had I dropped the one I just did this week, it would of come down on a beautiful tall mature Oak taking it out as well which I did not want.
A lot o good that thought process did when earlier the year during the last big wind storm, it and another oak toppled on the property. A loud "seriously! Are you &$@#% kidding me" might have been heard erupting from my mouth.
Fast forward to this past two weeks of me cutting and chopping on my days off.
Good times
I still need to tackle this oak that went this year along with two cedars.
