That takes some guts. A wrong cut and they'd have some house fixing to do!

That's when you pay a licensed and insured tree cutter to come take care of that .
He got lucky a few inches ether way and $1000's in damage

The guy with the saw was quite skilled at cutting, while his partner did a fine job of holding up the wall.

Maybe that was his attorney, just in case.

Largest tree I've ever cut down was the last trunk of a triple trunk 120 footer.
The other two trunks fell in two hurricanes the previous month.
Base trunk was 30 inches across, all three secondaries were about 20.
I rented an 80' high lift and had to stand on a 6' step ladder to top it.
The top 20' or so fell right where I wanted it between my house and the neighbors, actually between my house and the fence.
The trunk came down within the 30 degree "window" of my screen porch and my shed.
Took me the better part of two months to cut up all the wood.
Up until that the only trees I had cut down were barely over sapling size of about 10-12 inches diameter and 20-30 feet tall.

Cool stuff Snakeyes, truly a precise falling/landing
I have a buddy from Ponderosa HS that's living up in Georgetown Ca. Area Kevin W.,
he's a logger owns a logging co., he use to put a coke can or beer can out
about 30-40 feet away for a target & he would land his trees on them,
he's a really a true professional with a chainsaw...
We have a co. up here in Sonora Ca. too, Twain Harte Tree Service, is pretty damn good too...
Great video
