The tree is down!!!

This tree has been leaning as long as we've lived here... Since October 1981. At some point it was struck by lightning. Over the years it started leaning a lot more. Last summer one of our sons asked if we'd seen how far it was leaning.
No. We hadn't. Not good!!! Sometime around Thanksgiving, we noticed a split in the back of the tree. Good Grief!!! We called a tree trimmer. He never called back. His loss.
Two days ago I was driving down College Drive in Texarkana. Saw a guy up in a tree. He had a chainsaw and was cutting the top off what was left of a very tall tree... The tree was just a few feet away from the house. The yard was clean. Limbs were loaded on trailers. Safety ropes were tied to the guy in the tree. Ropes tied to the tree trunk to control where it went after it was cut. I was impressed. I saw all that as I drove by.
There is a car wash a couple blocks away. I turned around and went back to get a name & phone number. Charlie McMillan with "McMillan and Watson" out of Texarkana. He called me Friday morning. Came right out here to look at the tree. He and the guy that climbs the trees looked at it. Discussed what they could do. Gave us an amount and how long it might take to complete.
They got here about 7am. It's 10:30 and they have most of it loaded on trailers.

Murphy Bed is almost done!!!

It has been a long time since I've posted anything. Things happen. Posting from my phone is a bit limiting. It puts the photos all in one place & in whatever order they choose. Can't post the narrative between them.
Therefore... Here are the three photos I took as Shaine was working on them. Paint will be later.
