Big old tree removed today

Hello Everyone,

We now have the foundation footing in.  In the process of digging the space for the footing, some roots were damaged of the huge maple tree next to my current dental office.  The contractor recommended we remove the tree now because if it dies later and needs to be removed, it will be a lot more difficult to remove.  I was hoping to keep the tree, but alas it's not going to survive.  Plus there was concerns with the roots damaging the new building in the future or damaging the side entrance sidewalk. 

So today the big tree was taken down.





Wow, the current building is really exposed now.  No tree and no building blocking the view.  They should finish up on the foundation work this week now that the tree is down.  I did want the stump to remain.  I plan on placing a table top on top of it and making a picnic table out of it.

After foundation work, they will work on the plumbing.  Stay tuned.
