Bye Bye Dead Tree!

 Our tree being chopped down one piece at a time.
 It is crazy how fast they were able to take it down.  After this stage they tied a piece of rope to the top and sawed the bottom trunk.  When it started to fall two guys pulled the tree down towards the corner of our lot.  
 The remains of the tree!  
 Now, our huge bare spot.  They are coming back later to take out the stump. So now what to do..... I really want to put in some sod and maybe a smaller ornamental tree so that our yard is not off balanced.  I may re-landscape down the road but probably not this year.  
A little off balanced but we'll come up with something.  It is crazy how big that tree was and how much space it took up.  It really blocked our house.

The tree in our front lawn was beautiful but way too big and way too close to our house.  Plus, if you walked up close to it you would notice that it was pretty much dead on the inside.  The tree people said that those types of trees don't last for more than 20 some years and ours was long past that.  We just decided to take it out rather than let it get worse.
