After eight years of steadily clearing the forest behind our house, we are now free of potential killers.
Read our blog post Tree Felling Adventures for a backstory.
Phase one involved sending Maarten up a tree to fix the lines.
Phase two, Filippo,Maarten and myself strung a steel cable across the valley to attach a winch to a stump to control the falling direction of the ~30 tonne giant.
Working in the jungle is always a challenge!
But after a day of rigging safety lines, the giant came down exactly as planned.
Now our house is finally safe from danger and we can begin building a solar tracker in the new safe zone!
