Hi gang:
Wow, what a Sunday I have had.
I had a tree in my back yard. An old apple tree, half dead. It still produced some fruit but wormy and gross. It had to go.
"Don't we need a professional?" I say as my coisin starts the chain saw. Noooooo, piece of cake." He proceeds to climb the ladder into the tree. I begin to get this sick feeling in my stomach. I should of stopped him right there. I KNEW I should of followed my gut. Would of, should of, could of. As he is cutting I say, "That branch is awful big, I think when it falls it is going to hit the wires."
"Nooooooo," he says. "It is going to fall this way." I get up and out of the way.
TIMBER............. Guess where the branch lands. Right on the electrical and cable lines. "Crack, snap,"
I saw it in slow motion. It was a sickening feeling as I knew there was nothing I could do about it.
After a deafing moment of silence, I see my cable line is on the groud. Thank GOD my electric line withstood the strain and stayed up on the pole.
"Gee, that didn't go as planned" he says.
I was shaking so bad, I could hardly stand. I mean that branch coming down on those wires was scary business.
I'd had enough for one day. To much excitment. The rest of the tree was not as scary, and it did come down. We cleaned up the mess, and called it a day after about 6 hours.
I think we all hate to admit when we need help.
There is a reason people are called professionals at what they do.
Anyone else out there think of a time when they should of called a professional but did it themselves?
