Here's a few select shots of my tree removal. They didn't turn out great, but I didn't have a good place for the camera. I propped it up on a wood pile, and set it to take a pic every 30sec.
Final height before I felled the spar...
Not gonna show you the stump shot. That shit's embarrassing :^D I need to work on keeping my cuts level. It went exactly where I wanted, but I had to wedge the shit out of it, and nip the corners with my saw to get it to go over. Insult to injury, I somehow got my finger between a knot, and the maul handle while I was pounding wedges, and smashed the fuck out of my thumb. It immediately turned purple, and hurts like a SOB. Blows my plans for splitting wood this week, and work's gonna be miserable for awhile.
Finally, the replacement tree...
Doesn't look like much now, but this is what it'll turn into...
