Timber

Our next door neighbor alerted us that he was having people come and cut the trees around his house. Previously he had a big branch fall and damage his house. He was worried it would happen again. The tree cutters were going to start early in the morning.

I hearing the beeping of the crane truck as it backed into the neighbor's yard. The operator of the crane sounded the manual horn every time he wanted to get another worker's attention. I presume somebody climbed up and cut branches. They would tie the branch to the crane.

The crane reached over the house to the trees in the back yard. Then it would rotate the trees out to the street. There the workers used chain saws to cut the branches off the trees. They fed most branches into a wood chipper that ground up the wood.

My handyman had to tell them to get out of the way when he came to our house. Luckily, they were in between tree cuts when we went out for lunch. By the end of the day, all that was left was a couple tiny twigs here and there in the street.
