What a lot of unexpected work! 😶 At least your trees kept the rogue tree from falling down completely and damaging the wall. Yeah, it looks like a cinder block wall, but a free-falling tree of that size could have done a bit of damage. Your work was made somewhat easier, too, by the falling tree's not having a full head of leaves on it too, so at least you could see its branches easier! So glad you had helpers, equipped with saws and good old "know how!" ✌️
Yes, having helpers was the key to getting it done right :-D I'm still !ALIVE thanks to that 🤣
Our neighbors are quite complicated people, and waiting for them to remove it was of no chance. I offered to help them on their side, but they never got back at me, and the tree was in a somewhat dangerous position. So better do my side and be done.
I think I didn't post the picture as how it ended up:
The tree didn't have many leaves to begin with. I think it was already sick. The neighbor's yard is a mess. The soil there is very sandy, and it hadn't rained in weeks, plus the wind... even healthy roots have their problems with a tree that high.
