Tree trimming

This morning around 8a.m. I was over the old fixer upper house just west of JCMO, with some friends.  One couple drove their bucket truck, brought a small Stihl chain saw and some rope.  We were able to cut some dead limbs down out of a tree and there was one wedged between the tree and the roof of the house.  At one point a rope had to be tied onto the large limb, which went through a fork in the tree and then tied to my car.  As the limb was cut, the rope was held tight and prevented it from slamming onto the porch roof.  When it was freed from the tree, I backed up the car, lowering the bottom end to the ground.  It was still as tall as the two story house, so needed cut a few more times to get it down from the porch roof the rest of the way.  After that my friend with the bucket truck left, then  another friend and I cleared more weeds and stacked wood that I had cut up several months ago.  We will have to go back tomorrow morning with my Stihl chainsaw, so the big limbs that were cut down today, can be cut up into firewood.   I'm always careful using large tools, like making sure to wear safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.  There are dog ears, which are industrial strength noise reducing ear muffs, on my hardhat.
