Day 2

The tree removal company chose to bring in a 28 ton crane, as seen in the LH picture below, to aid removal of cut limbs. In both pictures, if you look closely, a man can be seen high in the tree tying off the crane’s hook. Special thanks to my neighbor, Joy for snapping these shots as I was unable to be there.

Patio removal also meant ‘steps to the back door’ removal. Luckily, I had enough concrete block from projects past to stack together temporary steps.

Since tree removal was my responsibility, I took the opportunity to have the tree company do some other work. Here’s an action shot of their stump grinder getting rid of a stump from a hackberry tree I cut down last year.

To cap the day, the backhoe operator checked in to make sure he could start work on Monday.
