Very large tree that tipped over and landed on the house and garage.  Notice the 500 gallons of propane directly underneath the 15,000 lbs of tree.

I used a 40 ton crane to pick the sections of trees off the buildings.  Even though this is the safest method to do this, the riggin of the tree must be perfect or else the opperation could end up in buildings being crushed and people getting hurt.

This was the first piece to come off the house.  Once we have it on the driveway it's easy to work with.  Our large chipper turned 90% of this tree into usable wood chip mulch.

Next we took the section off the garage.  There was only a few inches of margin between the propane tank.  Once the tree was rigged I had to cut the base loose and hope that my projections were accurate otherwise the trunk would drop and crush the tank with the possiblity of creating a catastrope

This was what was left of the tree.  The entire job including stump removal took us 4 hours.
