It's -14 Deg. F outside my house, about 11:45 PM. One of the neightbor's pine trees (about 80' tall) has split its trunk from the cold and wind (about 20mph at the moment). The tree guy in the attached photo has some serious sack. He's about 50' up binding the two trunks together with steel cables. He arrived at about 11:00 and has been in the tree for 45 minutes now.

Very impressive.

Here's to you, Mr. Lumberjack!

Yeah, I bet he is charging an 'arm and a leg' and part of your neighbor's sack also...

You can say that again! ...

Ok, that was too easy. Hmm...

Ummm... I'd just cut that sucker down. Pine trees are disgusting. Besides, I have a hard time seeing it surviving being split in two.

Ba-dumph!

Hey, it was my first image embedded post, go easy on me. I tried to fix it but the picture kept disappearing , so I gave up. He's still at it (12 midnight). I can sleep knowing a tree won't be poking me through the wall.

I'm sure they will have it cut down, but they just became aware of it tonight at around 9 when one of the neightbors noticed the noises. It's a bit tough to get a whole tree crew out of bed I suppose, that and taking that tree down is a full day's work. She's not on my property, thank goodness (knock wood!). I agree, I don't really care for pines. Give me oaks any day.
