Oh my gosh it's gone!!!

Well last Thursday the tree guys came back out to cut down the rest of the old big maple. I was amazed at how little time it took for them to get it down. in all it took them 5 hours total including the hour and a half they spent here the week before. I can not believe how big that tree actually was. We have a lot of wood on the ground and the trunk was left in one big 30 foot piece because it is supposedly instrument grade Fiddle Back maple worth a pretty penny. We will see, we have a guy coming out in the next week or so to take a look at it and he might buy it from us. To answer Aunt Emily's question as to how hollow the tree actually was there is a picture below. it wasn't as hollow as I thought it would have been. Toby again didn't mind the noise of the chainsaws and the large chipper he had a pretty pleasant day.
