more pics. oh yeah the new saw worked out great since i forgot to pick up a new chain for the big saw so the new one got a real work out only issue i had was the chain on it from the factory was junk and had a few bad links so i put on the spare chain the only other thing was that it got up to almost 90 today and i had vapor lock issues with the saw but in the heat i half expected it especially since the saw only got turned off to refuel and it was running for nearly 3 hours straight
what i did today(pic heavy)
the first 3 pics are of the huge tree i was planning on cutting down but once i got up in it a little ways i realized it was more than i could do with out proper climbing gear, and the fact that it was right between my grandma's house and the neighbor's house. the rest of the pics are the other 2 trees being taken down and cut up two of my cousins were there to carry branches away so i could focus on cutting. after both trees were down i had to break out the axe to help get the stumps down even with the ground. what a work out now i'm tired

With good reason.
From the pictures we can see who was doing the bulk of the work. Your cousin in the background looks like a real ball of fire on the job.
Yeah I was looking at that. That is definitely one to let the pros take care of especially with the service line coming into the house over there. Looks like they'll probably have to lower the top branches down by rope. Won't be cheap but still worth every penny to let someone else take the risk and play tree monkey.
HEY I'M MISSING A TREE

Good job! Yep if you are not comfortable abou dropping that Tree, then paying for it to be removed is cheap insurance!
THANKS
Good job! Glad ya didn't get hurt. I seen the ladder in the frist set of pics and it made me gringe alittle. I've seen alot of bad things happen with a chainsaw and ladder. 600 hundred sounds like a real fair price, stump grinding included.
That's one thing about doing tree work. You got one shot. Kinda hard to stand-it back up and try again. Thanks for the post and pics.
