Here's our Grand Oak tree after pruning this week. See the "before" picture below. We had to make room for the southwest corner of the house, which will be built right into the edge of the tree canopy.
This beautiful tree is quite a monster -- the trunks are 33" and 35" in diameter at chest height, and the canopy spans 80 feet across. To get to this size we estimate it's about 175 years old - Abraham Lincoln would have been about 30 when this tree took root!

Holy cow it looks so different! It's beautiful!
