Boy howdy am I happy about this one.
Erik will say I've "had it in for the tree since the moment you saw it, Karen" ...
Well, Erik .... the tree was almost half dead. It eventually would be dangerous. I didn't want it to be a liability.
We called basically everyone in the phone book. Well, the quotes to take the tree down ranges SO VASTLY. Well, we kept going until we got quotes from just about everyone .... and let me say, our persistence paid OFF! The last quote was about half of what the others were. SOLD! :) Some things, I'm willing to pay more for ... like a pair of jeans that make me look smokin' hot. Other things ... well, in the end the price wouldn't mean a job better done. So away we went.
Here's the before and after photos:
You'll see that one branch was already cut ... yeah, I did that. I attacked the tree with gusto, trying to take care of some of the dead branches myself, but it was getting dangerous.
I also have photos/videos in progress, but wanted to share that I've checked something more off of the 101 in 1001 list. :)
We opted to keep the trunk of the tree around so we could hang our hammoc swing. :) I'll be sure to share those photos soon!
Oh, and a few more items coming up to check off of the list ... #46, 71, 72 and 90. But I am having space issues and will download the photos and share them as soon as possible! :)
