someone was asking in a pm if i could post a picture of that maple to show the overall size of it.
well, i looked, no good camera shots of it showing the whole thing, but I took some with my cell phone when about half finished. this should show a little more of the size and situation.
But we did have a nice landing zone at the base of the tree, could take some long limbs and logs. Just couldn't drop stuff with no rope and have it roll down and knock down the wall below.
