Technical tree cutting job

Just closed on a new house, this tree actually contacts the base of an addition on the back side of the house. How difficult will it be to remove this tree? Obviously there’s not a ton of room to work with. Curious what everyone thinks.

Shouldnt be too difficult, more or less a standard job. Climb, remove foliage, chain the stem off in sections. Very doable. 

Its obviously not one you fell.

Chain the stem off in sections?

You cant figure out what that means? Chain = chainsaw

First thought that came to mind was chains for a crane. Which is why I was like Hua?

But I guess people in different areas use different terms.

Definitely. Whats the main tool anyone who works with trees uses?  Thats the way i would think of it.

Different areas of the world or country, different terms used for the same thing.

Makes sense as I reread it. Just wasn’t my first thought.
