My first ever tree cutting – yes, I chopped it down with my own two hands and a saw.  It was quite an experience – the first branch (this one) fell exactly where I planned; the second one not so much. 

It landed on the roof of the shed in the far right edge of the photo (top corner).  So I got to meet my ''back wall neighbor"  – she was very nice about it.  Nothing was damaged.  The next day, my landlord came with his chain saw and cut it and dragged it over the fence and then i finished it off.

whew!
