Timmmberrrrrrrr!

Mom and Dad had an oak tree that needed to come down. It was too close to the house and the Home Owner's Insurance Co. didn't like it.

After careful consideration of where to fall the tree so it wouldn't harm the house with it's limbs or massive trunk, Dad and Rob aimed for the most logical place to lay down the tree; a 3 1/2 foot opening in the fence that surrounds the yard.

This video shows the experts in action:)

Dad sawed; making precise cuts. Rob was in the truck with cable attached; guiding the tree.

Your dad cracks me up! Erin Papa made a post about your grandpa and the whole time I thought "And President Papa is just as amazing!" I'm always glad to see him when we come home to visit.

Wow! Great job getting that tree to fall exactly in the middle of the fence opening! Amazing. Sad to see that tree go though.

That was AWESOME! Now what you didn't show was that Rob was really asleep in the truck the whole time and Dad did all the work. lol. You should put that on youtube or something.
