Before and After

Started working on getting the huge, mostly dead tree in our backyard down. Chris and his dad got quite a lot done, but it started to rain and hail so ferociously that they had to stop. We'll be working on this for awhile.
Sadly the only before picture I have of the tree was taken in winter. I guess I should have take one before they cut the top off:

It was a big tree. Chris' brother said he would come and get the wood because he'll burn it in the winter. Good to know we'll be able to get rid of it.
So here's most of the branches that were cut and part of the top.

And here is what's left in the ground at the moment.

The other side has a huge hole. Looks like it got struck by lightning years before.
