Another Tree Had to Come Down

I took the next two pictures on April 8th to show a big tree (some kind of alder I think) that has to come down. It is in the way of the future back porch and kitchen expansion. Sad to lose it but no choice with the current design.

On 4/27/08 Denis finished taking the tree down. He did it slowly, almost limb by limb to avoid hitting anything valuable and to keep from wearing himself out. In this picture and the next one you can see the stump.
