It's started! by jamibann

It's started!

It's time to start sharing the images of 'the' tree coming down. This is how it looked when we got home from our walk on Thursday afternoon. It was pretty windy, so they started by thinning out some of the trees from the bottom of the garden before starting with the branch removal on the Douglas Fir. The man in red is Julian, the owner of the company we hired to do the work. He's a hands-on boss, and his wife dons her overalls and gets stuck in too. Extremely hard work for both of them, and the tree climber (who you can just see half way up the tree).
Goodness what a huge tree, that must have been quite an operation! Great documentation shot.

@ludwigsdiana Yes, 1 and a half days with 3 people working flat out. Big job. And now you should see the wood pile hubby has to deal with! ;-)

That sure is a huge job. It will make such a difference to your section.

wow that Douglas fir is high! I suppose its too near to the house so it has to come down. Good to see people who know how to do this rather than just swing a chainsaw!

What a lovely garden Issy with a great backdrop.

Such a tall tree. I know it's often necessary but it's sad to see one go.
October 8th, 2022  
That is such a big job, sad it has to go but better you are safe.
October 8th, 2022  
Wonderful

Love seeing the tree work but also admiring your house & garden too. Love all the trees round you…the one coming down won’t be missed as much when you are surrounded! Happy chain sawing!

The tree lopper looks a spec! Huge tree. Sounds like you’ll have firewood sorted for years to come.

It's so sad to see the big ones come down after living for so long, but sometimes they have to. It is quite the project!
October 8th, 2022  
That's one huge tree

It looks like they are making great progress
October 9th, 2022  
Wow, this should be amazing to see. It sure does take a lot of skill.
October 9th, 2022  
What a neat in progress shot! Thanks for the story line too

I know you had to cut down that beautiful tree, but it's a pity.
October 9th, 2022  
Wow that's quite a height ...I wonder how long it had been standing tall?
It's quite staggering how much they grow. Nice little tree by the house once upon a time no doubt. The only thing to do is get the experts involved in the removal... it's a work of art.
October 9th, 2022  
It is interesting to see the process of removing the tree. I guess it became dangerous for the houses!
October 9th, 2022  
Great documentary shot… you'll be amazed how quickly you'll get used to it not being there.
October 9th, 2022  
Nice shot
October 9th, 2022  
that is one tall tree
