Tree Operation

Glen noticed our neighbor Ralph out trying to cut down a leaning tree in his yard. So he offered to help, and got out chainsaws, rope, and his hardhat.


The tree was partially uprooted and leaning, due to recent rains and soggy ground.









They did a pretty good job of practicing social distancing while working together.









They got a rope over one side and tried to topple it.




Then they tried from the other direction. The tree was stronger than it looked.




Yay, part of it is down!




the saw cuts are visible where Ralph was able to use his pruning chainsaw.




Trying to get the other half to break off at the lower saw cut. Darkness fell before the tree did, though.




Ralph finally got the rest of it to come down a couple days later.
