We cut down a tree.
Our neighbor’s tree had a bug infestation and it came over to our trees. His tree has been dead a year and he still hasn't cut it down! It's driving me nuts since the view out from the kitchen window is the top of his garage and his dead tree! (We live in a bi-level).
Well, because he didn't cut his down as soon as it started dying it came into our yard! We have 5 large trees and a hedge of 13 trees that were planted as a windbreak. The bugs killed one of our pines so far. Last night be borrowed a chainsaw from another neighbor and started cutting it down. We got it cut down but now we just have to cut it up. We will probably burn most of the small stuff so we aren't stuffing the trashcan full for a couple of weeks. It's so dead it will go burn fast so it shouldn't take too long.
The neighbor had about 10 trees in his yard and 3 pines are already showing signs that they will be gone by spring or summer. I hate it when people don't take care of things like that. The chances are around 90% that our remaining 3 pines will get it and then we will have to cut them down too! Augh!
We had to cut down a HUGE maple last year because when they built the house they built it next to the thing. It was about 2 ft. in diameter but the edge came 4 inches from our foundation and 1 inch from our gas meter and line. The roots are probably all wrapped around it. Anyway, we had to get the thing cut down so it wouldn't crack our foundation.
At the rate we are going we may not have many trees left soon! That adds so much value to the house to have nice mature trees I really hate to see them go!
When doing projects like this make sure you can’t borrow the equipment first before buying it. This has saved us hundreds of dollars plus storage space! When we do borrow something we make sure that it is in as good or better condition than when we got it. We will clean up the chain saw, have the blade sharpened and I will make a big batch of cookies or brownies as a “thank you”. This way people are more than happy to let you borrow it when they know their items are taken care of.
