Cutting down trees

On the edge of my parent’s property are some trees that needed to be cut down.  They were unhealthy and each time a storm would come, they feared that they would drop on their home.  So, since it was a beautiful afternoon, my dad and my brother decided to take one on the task.

Shad had to climb the tree to appropriately fasten the rope so that it did not fall onto the neighbors fence or house.

Then, Dad took his chainsaw to it.

It definitely was a perfect spring day to be outside and enjoy the sun!!

That looks like a lot of fun to watch. Your dad looks like a legit mountain man, holding that chainsaw!
