Luckily I used all my wisdom about angles, scarfing, roping the tree, making several cuts (because the first 2 were the wrong angle) in the branch before going down the ladder so that I was out of danger.
Unfortunately the branch had a mind of its own and fell before we could guide it to the ground correctly.
I ended up getting it on video of the branch crashing into the fence and ripping off half the gate.
Fortunately that gate and part of the fence is going anyway so I sped up the process of having to build a new fence! haha. Patch up job for the mean time so the dog can't get out.
I used a $10 saw from Mitre 10, not recommended way for felling trees and branches and in the rain to!
On the fitness side even though my arms were still mashed from boot camp I managed to saw through over 300 branches large and small over 4 hours. I also shovelled 1/2 cubic metre of topsoil into rock garden and other garden as well.
Great workout!
