It Only Took Two Days

It seems I've been lobbying to have this gargantuan tree removed from our backyard since the day we moved in.  The day finally arrived (nine years later).  Last Tuesday Drake from Ridgecrest Tree Service was hired to remove the enormous Eucalyptus tree from our backyard.  And he was successful.

Here he is on the first morning of his arrival sizing up the monster tree and calculating his plan.

He brought his wife and son to help.  They're on the ground.  Drake is in the tree.  This was taken a couple of hours after they began.

 This is the end of day one.

This is the end of day two.  Bye-bye tree.  Hello warm winters.  We had a friend come by to take some of the wood.  He filled up the back of his full sized pick-up and the piles look exactly the same.  That is a lot of wood!
