Revision as of 13:48, 5 July 2009
On July 20, 2008 we had a nasty thunderstorm. I went out on the back porch to watch the lightning. This was about a week after our exterior remodeling project was completed. I looked to the south where most of the thunder and lightning originated. It was very windy. As I turned back to to the east, I noticed one of our large oak tress had fallen, not far from the porch. I didn't hear a sound. This puts to rest the question "If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?"
The Ward Brothers to the rescue. We have had to take down many trees over the 38 years we have lived in this house. For almost all of our tree work, we have used the Ward Brothers. In the early days they had very little equipment and mainly worked as a twosome. Over the years, they added people and equipment. They have always done a great job. As soon as the tree fell, I called them.
