We Didn't Want Trees Anyway

More storm fallout. We have one tree in the yard (literally one in the entire yard - front and back) so of course it got hit by lightening, or something else that killed just the top part of the tree.The tree splits in two at the base. The trunk on the right is the one with the dead branches.

The dead area at least 20 feet higher than the top of our house.

Gravity would not be on our side if we only cut down the one trunk.
So this is going to be fun. But considering I can see from my office the root ball of a similar sized tree that took out a number of  fences in the storm, we'd rather do it ourselves before Mother Nature does it for us. The crazy part is that because of the placement of the tree in the yard they can't use a crane so it will all be done by hand. Any one need fire wood? Because we're about to have enough to build a bonfire they could see from space.
