The branch is down! Breathing will be a little easier!
I was at work guy came by, but Lloyd said he did a fine job. He also gave some advice about the giant hole in the back of the tree: fill it with Great Stuff. Fortunately, I already had a can to use for a different project, so we spent it on the tree.
Lloyd got out his trust ladder:
Don’t get too worked up. This is how high he was off the ground:
We didn’t have nearly enough. This hole is cavernous!
More updates later! 🙂

Yay! That’s awesome! One more thing off your plate. And your neighbors can pool in peace, knowing that dangerous branch is gone.

When you said “Great Stuff” I thought maybe it was going to become a time capsule. Have you thought of planting a smaller tree somewhere for when it needs to come down? Would it be worth anything for lumber? Does a hole that big mean it may not live to much longer? You have probably considered all of these at some point. Glad it is safe again.
