He has experience as he works for the city of Fort Worth and takes down trees all the time.<BR/><BR/>As he made a couple of cuts I told him it was beginning to lean towards the house. He made some calculations, shifted a bit, and continued cutting. I knew we were in trouble when it again moved closer to the house.<BR/><BR/>We propped it up with a 2x6 (which would have snapped like a toothpick if it had started to lean). He went for some tackle and rope while I prayed that the wind wouldn't blow. <BR/><BR/>In the end we got it down safely.

And Kelly and I talked about what manly men our husbands were, while the other women nodded in jealousy. It was quite an entertaining evening!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495431905223962790.post-38245790910930567132007-09-11T17:03:00.000-07:002007-09-11T17:03:00.000-07:00Ah, Eric.
