Well, the downed limbs are cleaned up. We ended up with one more tree removal company giving us an estimate. I almost passed out on the spot.

The last company will use a cherry-picker, and be about $1k higher that the others. It will take less time to bring the tree down, but I have to remove part of a fence, and the chicken and duck runs.

The other guys will take longer, be a little less money, but I only have to move the ducks while the guys are working. But they’ll climb the tree.

I need to decide within the next 24 hours in order to get on their schedules and even then it may be three weeks.
