Who knew I was a lumberjack??

Our 55 foot tree has died and quotes to take it down came in at $450!! Do you really think I would pay that much? I can do that! I climbed our 20 foot ladder and realized the tree was still really tall, so I sucked in my muffintop and shimmied up the trunk and started to do the damage! Four of the five cuts fell as calculated, the fifth cut fell straight down and I was hanging onto the tree for dear life. Now that it is all down, I am feeling pretty cool and $450 richer. So, if anyone needs tree trimming help....I charge $450!

Didn't think it was THAT tall!

Very safe...I know exactly what I'm doing...TIMBER!!!

Almost done....25 more feet to go!
