Today we finally got around to taking care of it.  Lance and family came up in the morning and we crawled up on the roof with a chainsaw to start cutting the limbs apart.  The biggest limb was too heavy for us to even move at first.  But as we cut a bit off here and a bit off there, it became light enough for us to be able to drag it to the center of the roof where it wouldn&#8217;t come crashing down onto the porch if it got out of balance.  Once we got started it looked like a pretty big job but soon realized that it would not take as long as we thought it would.  We tried to cut the pieces a manageable size, then we threw them over the edge of the roof into the drive back to the shop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Job Begins\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/TheJobBegins.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lance Cuts The Biggest Limb\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/LanceCutsTheBiggestLimb.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"507\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While we were doing this, Cherise and Rachel went to Target and Karen and Ben had a chance to get Karen&#8217;s new Red Stick Dogwood planted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Karen and Ben Planting the Red Stick Dogwood\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/KarenBenTreePlanting.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"688\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We ended the morning having Chick-fil-A for lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may remember last December I related a story about one of our tree limbs breaking off and falling onto the roof of our house.
