Taking down a fir tree in the years with COVID. The owner of this home died March 15th 2020. Now it's being worked on with one goal to remove the tree in the picture. This started last Summer and is being done with a sawzall to cut the branches. They don't own a chainsaw. They do have lot's of ladders leaning against the tree. Maybe a pine tree. Not many of those here.
Instead of undercutting the branches first, and then making the final cut on top, he's just cutting from the top, and the branches are not coming off cleanly. I would guess that the tree has been worked on at least for thirty days, sometimes with flood lights until 5:00 AM in the morning. I tried to figure how many hours are now invested in removing the tree, and it seems like it's become a full time job. What are your feelings, or opinions on what is happening here?
I'm a bit worried, that I'm going to come home one day and see something really bad has happened on this corner lot.
