Tree Surgery...

We have a lot to be thankful for.

My friend reminded me that in some parts of the world, 
the flooding we have seen from Harvey 
would have caused loss of life in the thousands.  

In Houston, we have had loss of life, but barely reaching a dozen.  
Yes, yes, a dozen is way too many, but it is not hundreds, 
and it is not thousands.

For me, I am most thankful we are dry, and that all the family is safe.

I did have one inconvenience, but it wasn't much more than that.
I had a tree fall over onto my garage.  So, I called some guys to help.

So, before he could start cutting, he needed to climb high, and rig some lines for his own fall protection, and to rig to branches, to lower them in a controlled way.

He's not working out in a field, he's got house on all sides, so he carefully cut, piece by piece, dropping each one just where he intended to.

Bit by bit...
Looking, planning, rigging, cutting...

 It was so nicely done, it was like watching an artist painting a picture.

Pieces positioned to cushion the fall of heavier pieces.

All the branches off, and then the trunk...

...until done.
Precisely done, no accidents, no drama.
