Nervous... Yeah, That's an Understatement!




We had these three 85' trees in our backyard that we've been wanting to take down for a while because the roots tear up our grass in the backyard and we've been wanting to put in a sprinkler system. We got a quote for someone to come over and it seemed pretty expensive just for them to knock them down. We would still have to haul them out ourselves. So Matt decided he wanted to do it himself. So with the help of our dad's and my sister's husband Jeff and a few neighbors they were able to knock them down.

I can't believe it but we were so lucky! No major damage. We're going to have to fix the fence in a few places but no house damage. Whew! I could barely watch! After you watch the video maybe you'll understand! (Sorry it's sideways, my bad!)

Hee, hee. Love the video! We are so happy no one got hurt!.... And besides the 4 feet of missing fence, all of our(yours and mine) stuff is still standing! Good Job BOYS!!!

I can't believe you were able to watch at all! I would have been freaking out! Most the time it is just so much cheaper to do things yourself even though it can be a pain. So way to be brave and go for it!
