Back in late July, lightning killed these 2 big poplars next to the pond and near the house. In the last 36 years we have lived here, these trees have been struck numerous times, probably 15 to 20 times. This was a huge strike and split the biggest one to the ground. Priced getting someone to top them so I could pull them down without hitting the house. Had to get it done before rot and ice and snow hits. Did not want to pay what I was quoted. Thursday morning, a power company truck showed up with a contractor and said they would top them for free since one could hit the line going to the house. Crew showed up about 2:30 with a bucket truck and a chipping truck. By 5:00 this it what it looked like. Not only topped them, but cut the trees down, chipped all the limbs and raked up the trash. The biggest stump was where I put one nail in to hold up a wooden box 36 years ago to put a hand pump on to get water out of the spring to mix mortar for house foundation and pillar construction. Of course they found that one nail with a chainsaw. I gave them all some of our homemade sorghum syrup. They were happy. I am happy. Some pics. The first is about a year or two ago. The last one from my back door. I am a very lucky man. Richard in NW SC
