It's FINALLY gone!

Ever since we moved into this house 9 years ago, I have hated this pine tree that sat in our front yard. It was way too big for the house and the neighborhood. It was dead besides...leaving sticks and pine cones to clean up constantly. Just an ugly sore spot of our property.


Finally today, we were arriving home from running errands and we could not see the towering tree from the back of the house. It's gone! Had we known it would be so cheap and easy to get rid of it we would have done it years ago. We can see our house now. It's great! The boys were so bummed that we missed them taking it down. They said they would be here early this week and so we sat at home for 3 days waiting. This morning, it was pouring rain so we thought for sure they wouldn't do it this morning. Oh well! Just the stump left...they will come in a few days to grind that down. The first quote we got they said they would have to take it down piece by piece and it would destroy the yard. This company just took it down into the street, fast, simple, not a bit of damage to anything, anywhere.
