Well, my favorite tree has to come down.
We had a storm come through last week and it took a big limb off. One of the main runners cracked so bad I can see light through it. Sucks, gave me really good shade when working on the driveway. Not to mention the awesome yellow and red leaves in the fall.
Tree guys came out yesterday and took down a lot of the upper branches. They are coming back today to finish up. I think I am going to bandsaw up a few of the logs and cure them for a couple of years and turn them into shelves or something
