Tree cutting...

Here you can see the guy starting to cut down the tree that is leaning. It is tied off to the larger tree close by...The helper had to climb to the top of the good tree to throw a rope around the tree they wanted to cut...
The last picture is the man swinging out the bottom of the tree after he had but off several lengths of it. He is getting it into position where the helper can loosen the rope and let it down.

Well, Helen, that was interesting.

Clayton wonders if you 'cedar' trees are not red woods?

Oh, don't cut the red woods.

Patsy also thought they might be red woods...The wood cutter said they were cedar, pine, and a few sycamore.....They shed like cedar but patsy said red woods do that also....They are only cutting down the split ones and when they cut them they are rotten and soft inside...they will use them in the fire place and try to help with thet 300 a month electric bill...
