They hauled most of the tree tops off and then I had someone come in and get the trunks for free (they hauled them away and, I didn't have to pay, and they took them to a lumber yard and sold them, so that's how they made their money)

I would guess half the trees had to be climbed, delimbed and taken down in sections. Some of the others were topped and then were felled by using rope and a truck.

I've used a winch several times to take a tree down and keep it from falling towards the way it was leaning.

Please let me know when you need 36" trees toppled down for $2K I'll be glad to fly into MS for that task

Yeah, it seems the second band (or whatever) is coming through now.

I really wish I could find the camera. The huge dead tree is still holding. I didn't expect so much wind ect. I have lived here all my life and been through a lot of storms, and this is nothing, but I just didn't expect it and blew it off. Kind of a surprise when I woke up.

Giggity.

Yeah! Second estimate crushed the first one. Just $1700 including grinding the stumps and removing the debris!

It'll be something entertaining for the kids to watch since he's coming Thursday. Paragon, we'll get some peanuts and Capri Suns for the kids and they can sit on the deck watch the fun. We'll drink beer.
