You do quite well for them. Your very concerned of their welfare it is clear.

It's cold outside, and we all hide in houses )

Don't envy that at all

Yes, wherever I drop this tree, it will be bad on either side. Therefore, i will have to climb up and saw off it in small pieces.

In other matters, it is winter now, I do not work at all, so i can "have fun" with this tree for at least three months, sawing off one branch a day.

This all happened because when I was building the goose house, I was too lazy to cut this tree down. In other matters, when it was green, it did not interfere at all, on the contrary, it was somehow good that it grew there, partially draining the land and giving fresh air (usually it is customary to plant livestock areas here with low trees and bushes). True, then this tree was noticeably smaller, it apparently began to grow very actively, when a lot of goose manure began to fall under it, which is a good nitrogen fertilizer.

Probably, I just had to trim the bottom of the trunk with some old iron so that the goats could not spoil the bark. In other words, then this tree would grow even higher, so it may be good that I am sawing it now, and not in 15 or 20 years.

The only thing I want to do is cut it in pieces of 2 meters, so that i can then make a compost bin out of them. Here they usually do this - they take old "free" logs and build huts from them using the technology of the century before last, only these huts serve as boxes for compost (some old tops from tomatoes, rotten leaves, etc.). And then this compost is dumped into a park or garden.

They are starting to get smart to composting here now ..
I grew up on a farm composted all my life

Difficult geopolitical situation
On one side there is a large garage of my neighbor (there is also a second floor above the garage), on the other, there is a goose house, on the third side there is a greenhouse on the line of this tree, and on the fourth there is a power line. The situation is further complicated by two fences.
As a result, I will have to cut this dried up spruce in small pieces.

When the tree was healthy and green, it did not bother me much and did not interest me at all, but then I forgot about it, or rather, about the fact that goats can spoil it. They came there, gnawed all the bark from below, and the tree withered. Now I have to remove it.
This ladder is low, I have another, a little higher, I think to put it up and saw off some more branches. And then I obviously have to climb even higher in order to cut off the top of the head, and then saw this tree in small pieces and carefully throw them down.
Tomorrow I am thinking of starting to clean up those branches that are lying around at the bottom.

Pasha, that looks very dangerous. Can't it wait until it's a little warmer?

In the spring I will have a lot of work, if this tree is added to it, it will be difficult. Although I’m not doing anything specifically now, tomorrow I’ll just calmly remove the branches lying at the bottom, and then (on some other day) I’ll saw off others, but I don’t risk cutting off the top of the head itself.
Accidentally dropping it on a power line and staying in the cold without electricity will not be the most pleasant story )
Among other things, no heating is used in my barns, and I can get water both from the well and with the help of a bucket. Another thing is that a gas heating boiler for a house without electricity will not work now, because there is modern automation, and there are also pumps on the pipes. Apparently, in which case i will have to start the generator.
As for the rest, there are few people in the village now, many have left for the city, therefore, if the electricity is turned off, it will not be a serious tragedy.
Although, of course, I do not plan at all to drop the top of the tree onto the power line, I only calculate bad options )

Otherwise, I am well fed and dressed warmly, so the frost does not bother me much ))

I like to put off such things for a time when there is absolutely no other work. Now I just have absolutely nothing to do, I watch more Japanese anime cartoons and play games as do anything.

Yesterday I went through a rather funny game, there I had to fight in the middle of the kitchen with evil chefs ))

I am definitely amused by the way they are drawn.

It`s "Kobold siege" game.

Almost looks like she forgot to put clear coat on the first one.

Well, just take care. We don't want anything to happen to Pasha.
