These trees were 50 years old, and were about 40 feet. It was a sad day for me and my mom, she cried a lot. They were here when I bought the house in 2010 and we really loved them.

Apparently these trees go up like roman candles in a fire, and they were too close to our house. Now they are just stumps. I was worried that I would have to wait for my tax return before I could afford to hire someone to do it, but a Good Neighbor helped me take them down. He cut them up to smaller pieces and I hauled them to the side of the road for chipping. The guy who helped me is in his 70s (I babysit his dog when he needs), and I told him I would take care of hauling the wood to the side of the road.

I shouldn't have done that. Now 3 days later, my lower back is very painful. I've had back surgery in the past. I'm worried I've done something really bad.

Sorry for venting on your OP Floyd. I hate seeing trees cut down. Especially beautiful trees.
