Tree Felling 2

In all about 25 trees were felled.

One photo shows the only damage to a bamboo fence. ( narrowly missing the garden shed ) Another show one guy in the bucket being lifted up to put a chain around a tree ( scary ) The top photo shows the tree that was most difficult to drop the right way ( away from the house )
phew, we still have a house.

Since I'm not a bloke that will be enough photos - you get the idea. There will still be weeks of cleaning up but the biggest logs have been trucked away - what remains will become firewood for next year.

For the last 2 days we have had 3 guys here with 2 big machines and chainsaws felling about 25 of the gum trees closest to our house, They are huge trees and were becoming a frightening menace to us . WE wanted them felled so there is less mess and before one fell on out house or sheds.

We have taken more than 50 photos so will only show a few. The good news is there were no mishaps. The last and biggest tree was the most tricky and closest to the house, but it's down...never mind the fence. As a precaution we took all the vehicles down the drive and I loaded up the car with precious things I didn't want to loose if the worst happened. ( My sewing machine, photos, valuables, important documents etc ) I stayed well clear and photographed from afar!

These 2 photos are BEFORE. I will do another post of some of the action and After shots. There is a huge amount of clearing up to do.
