The Tree Comes Down

Today the two Roys got the sweetgum on the ground. All went according to plan and it was very impressive, although a couple of times I was holding my breath. They did have to modify a bit here and there, like bringing in the tractor. One wife drove the truck that kept the tension on main rope, and the other took pictures and then got called it to hold the rope that guided the tree. We had it very easy compared to the men who did the hard work and figured the engineering. They were exhausted, but satisfied with the job.

The ropes are secured
"Hold it there while I go get the tractor"
"Drive faster...my hands are slipping"
Tying the rope to the tractor
Tired, but successful
