As Rajan stated above, tree was half rotten at the base. See these:

A couple of vids from some recent work in Wisconsin. Huge, dead, Shagbark Hickory that was climbed, limbed & topped, and a big stick fallen. Crew moved most of the limbs/brush via the mini. A good day!

This was from last year, and the pic is in the Rotator. Was able to use a very fat Silver Maple stick for some redneck style demo work. That rare occasion where a tree guy doesn't have to worry about hitting a structure... ;)

Frankie, if I'm viewing this right, this couple has a ~30"DBH, 60-70 ft tree, majority leaning towards house with some back limbs towards the street (and possibly impeded by utility lines), and a very small landing zone. So I can see the need to climb to remove the stuff near the house and some...
