as long as I don't have to do it, I don't care where they fall.
A few weeks ago I decided to cut one down myself, with my brother's help. We had a couple ladders and my little chainsaw and this pine tree was about 40 ft. high and right next to my house. Since there was no place to just drop it, we had to work our way up the tree removing all the branches; then when we got within 10 feet of the top we tied off the top so we could urge it in the right direction and cut it off; then worked down an took out the rest piece by piece...then of course the clean up and disposal! This took us two whole days, climbing up and down the ladder a couple hundred times. Then my knees were quite sore for a few more days.
This is why I'll never cut down another tree on my property again...if I can't just drop it in one shot, I'm calling the tree guy.
