  1. Sorry Alan Birch, you were rotten to the core and had to go.

    But first we had to get a permit, because in Lithuania certain tree species over a certain size have rights. This involved a long wait for a guy to come, glance at the tree and say: "taip" and then another wait for a document.

    At least that gave me plenty of time to plan the difficult deed. The tree was rotten, leaning into the road and in range of the house. I cleared a gap in the driveway to drop it into.

    Rigged two lines, a stay secured on an apple tree with a winch to pre-tension and the tractor to pull it over.

    Thanks to careful preparation, it went as planned and now I have to do a lot of cleanup because there's a big tree laying in our driveway 😆
