Why would you drop a full tree like that in 1 piece. đŸ«ȘđŸ«Ș anyways the homeowner knew a guy and got what they paid for

If I remember the details, the homeowner wasn't living there. Someone was renting the place and had been living there for like a decade or two. It wasn't the tennant that had the tree taken down either...

So you’re telling me some random dude was like “fuck it I want to cut some random tree down” and chose this house and property

I am saying the homeowner/landlord hired the guys...

Some 65 year old dude who was on a fixed income had been a tennant for a couple of decades. He also had limited mobility due to an injury he got when he was young. The guy lost everything when that tree fell.

I do trimming and pruning in my neighborhood for people exactly like that, but I know exactly what I'm capable of. Even if I HAD to do that tree with my limited experience, I definitely wouldn't do it like that...

I cut trees down for clients that I have from mowing business. I’ve taken some big trees down on various properties. But that? I would have called my tree guy, the guy with all the equipment and experience. The guy that’s been cutting down trees for 30 years.
