I hate killing a tree, but this one was hanging right over the boathouse (we didn’t build that~!) and was in the way of the bulkhead access, and was hanging off the cliff. So it had to go unfortunately.
Eric Reed had to hang onto the trackhoe bucket as I lifted him up to chain the trunk, high enough where I could control its fall. Then he cut through the trunk just enough to where I could break the rest off with the trackhoe. And down she came in a very controlled fashion.
