I know we have been taking down a lot off trees lately, but we had one little surprise tree take down a few weeks ago. Thanks to some crazy storms that blew through Ohio we ended up with some hurricane force winds and lots of thunder and lightning. This crazy combination led to us coming home from work to find this in our front yard:
Half of the tree was down, and half of it was still standing, but the half that was still standing, didn't look like it was going to stay standing for long. So we needed to find a way to get this whole thing to come down. We were super fortunate that the tree didn't fall towards the house, but it did however fall towards our fence and crunched up a good portion of it.
We called a tree service to come deal with this mess, but they weren't going to be able to come out for awhile (there were a lot of trees down all over the city).
No tree service, but there was a couple of guys with a chainsaw and a truck who were walking up and down the street looking for work, and since the tree was already down, and the fence was already damaged, I figured we would be ok. At least it couldn't get any worse, right? And Joe was there to supervise the whole thing.
Batman liked watching all of the commotion that was going on in the front yard.
Our house definitely looks different in the front now:
We are going to have to come up with something to make the front of the house not look so plain. We were already planning on replacing the fence in our backyard this summer, so we have added a new fence in the front yard to the list as well, so that should hopefully help.
