Letting in the Light

005 Tree Removal 103

The photo on the left above and below is the before and the right is the after. Our town is heavily wooded and in an attempt to prevent power outages National Grid went around town marking trees that they deemed a problem. The tree in the top photo was on our property so we had to give permission for it to be removed. It had an injury and was vulnerable so we agreed. Yesterday was the day. The tree in the photos below is on the street side so they didn’t need our permission. There is a hole in the sky now and more light will be coming in so the other trees should benefit. The interesting thing was Mark was home on Monday when they were nearby. The outfit that did the tree removal came from Syracuse. Apparently it must have been cost effective for National Grid to pay them and put them up versus having local people do it. Mark made friends with one of the guys as he was an ATV enthusiastic and came to look at his equipment. Click on the photos for a larger view.

They had a beautiful day to work and I took a ton of pictures. I think you all get the idea.

This morning they came by with their equipment and in no time had all the wood picked up and loaded.

  1. That was a good size tree. They wouldn't let you keep the wood? And Syracuse, who would have thought???

  2. We could have kept it, but we don't have a use for it.
