I should have had my video camera with me to record my attempt at knocking down a dead tree out of the backyard of my sister’s house. Maybe I’ll get a picture of it. I did get it down but had to use everything else except for a chainsaw, mostly since it had been left outside on the ground for three months....well there was shovels and axes.

I spent a good part of the time shoving it, it was quite comical because I did a lean/fall push for it was partly uprooted, and I was just trying to get the rest of it out. I then dug up the soil around the tree and chopped the root a bit before going back to pushing the tree down, though it’s too heavy for anyone to move now. So it’s just laying on the ground until it can be cut up but I did do what I set out to do, “Nock down the tree so it doesn’t fall on someone”......
