going, going, half gone

A huge tree has been getting huger and huger. Nothing grows in the corner of our garden that it overshadows.9:30 am (for scale, the "hedge" being dwarfed on the right is nearly 10 ft high...)But it's not in our garden, just in the very corner of a neighbour's. From various conversations, we knew she wanted it gone, but couldn't afford to take it down. It's just going to get even bigger, so we asked her if we could take it down. She very happily said yes.We asked the people who keep our own trees in trim (the "small" hedge on the right) if they could do it. They looked, and said it was actually three trees close together, but they could do it in a day if they could have access through another neightbour's garden to remove the branches. We asked her permission. She ecstatically said yes: it was overshadowing her garden even more than ours.So, today was the day. On closer examination, it turns out there are actually five trees in the clump, so we were warned it might take a bit longer…
