When 3 boys get together..

We have a big nice oak tree in our front yard. However, big nice oak tree had a big nice branch that hung over the driveway and dropped stuff onto cars. Well today Brian and his 2 buddies: Mount and Lefler. Decided the branch needed to go.
Stage 1: How do we get up there to cut down the branch? We don't have a ladder...
Solution: Hoist Lefler into the tree using a tow rope and his truck to pull him up.

Stage 2: Cutting the tree limb down...We don't have chain saw. So they used these 2 saws...

 Oh and its the tree branch behind his right knee. The left if you are looking at him.

This was the "power tool" That saved the day...sort of.
















Stage 3: Getting the branch down without hitting the house, and lets make a swing while we're at it!

Stage 4: How to get Lefler down from the tree.

 Brian and Mount on "belay"

He's hard to see, but Lefler is up there trying to figure out if he really wants to just slide down the rope. Don't worry Brian threw him up gloves so his hands didn't burn.






Stage 5: What do we do with the tree branch now in the front yard?

 You can see it isnt' a tiny branch. Remember our "power tool?" That's what they are using...

Molly's part in this:

After the branch came down. Mount announces, "Sergent Ricks has a chainsaw..."

However, no one ended up in the emergency room. Happpy Birthday to Brian...let's cut down a tree :-)
