Bye Bye Palm Trees!

As much as the palms gave a sunny so cal look to our house, they were messy and on occassion dangerous - those big fronds fall when it gets windy. So rather than get them trimmed we decided to remove them. Correction we had someone else remove them.
It's hard to tell from this picture but step one was to get up inside the fronds and cut them down.
Most of the trunk pieces came down in smaller sections than this thank goodness since it sounded like a war zone as each piece hit the ground.
After the fronds were gone each piece of the trunk was cut. Yes he's up there with nothing more than spikes on his shoes, a chain around the tree and a lot of bravery!
Somehow removing the palms made the sunny so cal weather go away too. Coincidence?
