First off..... WTF 2016??? you are here now? Sorry, but this is cool in a way! How are you back here now after having created an account then and walking away? Or is this an alt you've had this whole time? Just wondering.

Anyway to answer... My intent is to climb my ladder of shortened limbs to the full size branches which I will cut off. I will leave enough to climb on then will get to a point where I feel comfortable topping the tree. I'll likely make a face cut then a back cut to send it the way I want. I actually think I can put it between the the houses. I have ample room and with fewer branches it should go no problem. The lean of the tree even helps me.
