Those residential guys earn it. When you're felling out in the woods and
it doesn't go the way you planned, you just pretend that's exactly what
you meant to do. Of course, there are the widowmakers waiting for you.

Still, it's less nerve wracking than the potential maple meets Mercedes
fiasco.

Got a real problem tree to deal with this winter. Too close to both houses
and taller than both. It's going to be a bitch to take it down without
running into *something.* Hopefully my tree-monkey Canuck lumber jack will
be able to bring it down relatively safely.
