Two trees beyond the ability of an amateur to handle (center section)

Hello everyone.

The hot weather continues, but how have you all been doing? Little by little, work here is moving forward as well. Today is the day when professional tree cutters are taking care of the felling of trees that are beyond my ability to handle on my own.

The reason these trees are beyond my ability to handle is, as mentioned in the title, that depending on the direction in which the trees fall after being cut from the base, there is a risk of damaging power lines, electric fencing, or public roads and causing serious damage.

This had been the task I feared the most throughout all of the work so far, so I decided without hesitation to ask professionals for help. Despite their busy schedule, they finally managed to make time for us.

The situation during the professional tree-felling work

The professionals spent quite a bit of time carefully observing the branches of the trees. Rather than cutting the trees down directly from the base, they gradually cut away the middle and smaller branches piece by piece. Skillfully handling both chainsaws and hand saws, they steadily reduced the trees until only the trunks remained. They checked safety every time they adjusted the ropes or moved around, which allowed me, as an observer, to feel reassured throughout the entire process.

The situation near the end of the tree-felling work

They never cut corners when it came to safety checks or observing the trunks. Since even the slightest carelessness in rope work could lead to serious consequences, they carried out every step with extreme caution. Watching closely, I realized that the knots they tied were far beyond anything I could ever do myself. It truly drove home the fact that rope tying is a skill mastered only by professionals.

And then, before I knew it, everything was finished. I was truly grateful for all of their hard work.

Thank you very much.
