seriously awesome
The remodeling has at last begun. It starts outside with the removal of three very mature trees. As much as I hate to take them down – I’ve put it off for twelve years – two are dead/dying and this water maple stands in the way of running a power line to a mast (part of the remodel). Plus, it’s far too close to the house. If you’ve ever seen the damage a tornado can do, then you probably shudder when you see trees too close to a building. In any case, I’ve been looking for a reasonable company for a few years to do this work. Julie Smoak recommended Anthony Conrad (below far left) and his company “Git ‘Er Done Tree Service.” Now, I ask you, how could I not love a company with that name? When I met Anthony he was everything Julie said he was; sweet, kind, communicative (a rarity for services of just about any kind), and as a bonus, reasonably priced. He brought his crew today to start this big job. I was home, standing in the safety of my kitchen doorway, cameras in hand. It was amazing to watch. Without incident, they took down an enormous 60ft tree that was over the house and the garage. Dad used to fell trees with his friend Larry Lacy, so it’s always been interesting to watch, but I got some nice snaps of Anthony and his crew. Chainsaw dude: I don’t know his name but he is all that. He did an incredible job making the right cuts, and when he wasn’t cutting, he was smiling. Guys that cut trees have a really dangerous, seriously hard job that often goes unappreciated. These poor guys were all hacking their heads off from the pollen before they even started. It’s just a super dangerous job for a lot of reasons, so I try to keep in mind why they charge as much as they do. They earn it. If you find a good tree cutter, share their name with your friends because they’re worth their weight in gold. My guy’s name is Anthony Conrad and Git ‘er Done Tree Service. Thank you for the recommendation, Julie, and thank you, Anthony, for being as awesome as your reputation said you were.
