And Down Came the Tree

Yesterday Mr. Roman from The Real Tree Whackers came by and chopped down the middle spruce tree. The photo below at the top is from 1999 when the last owner actually bought the house. You can actually see the fact that there is a house behind the trees in that photo.

 Then we come to this photo above. The house is being swallowed. The middle one has completely uprooted the pathway to the backyard, the far right one is doing the same, all the way to the foundation, and the far left one bugs me the most because it blocks all of the light for any flowers or plants in the front yard.

And here is the house. Wow. Really highlights the links in the chain don't you think;) My coworker who lives a few blocks down and passes by everyday came in at lunch yesterday. She said "you'll love it! But the house is really, really dirty." Sigh.
