The Four Pine Trees began early and ended late. With steady work and dedication we got the job done all in one day! |

| Cutting the tree down to a manageable size for felling. |
| The wood chipper is a monster machine |
| An early morning pow pow between members of the Stump Busters crew and the boss of the tree cutting company with whom we corroborated on the job. Stump Busters contracted the job. Another company cut the trees for us, and we did the clean up afterwards, including grinding the stumps. |
| Sharpening up. |
| Those are some tall trees! |
| The homeowner had the trees all marked out for us before we arrived. |
| The tree climber gearing up. Tree climbing is the most dangerous job of all, and must be prepared for thoroughly. |

| It is a long and treacherous mount. |
| Look out below! |
| Whew! I am glad that isn't my job! |
