The Work Has Begun

The excavation guy came out yesterday to start tearing down some trees he is surprisingly fast since he came out late yesterday afternoon and tore down all the trees except for a small peach tree and the pecan but just as I thought he was going to start work on the pecan he tore an oil line on his bulldozer pushing over a cedar tree.

He came back today and worked till noon fixing his bulldozer which includes another trip to town for parts. After a while he got it fixed and did a little more pushing around of tree. As soon as he starts on the pecan its pretty easy to see it might take a while in just over an hour he dug a hole the size of a bomb crater or pretty close and still the tree seemed to stand strong then he used this interesting technique of rocking the tree on each side causing a twisting motion after about ten minutes of this "twisting" the tree finally collapsed.

This is him trying to dig up the base the tree is really massive compared to the bulldozer. Hopefully I will have the video out soon so you can see more.

And finally the land after he finished today.
