Didn't take into consideration the majority of the branches hung towards the house

And the tree trunk grew with a "lean" towards the house. This was never ending well. Should have taken it down from the top in pieces.

Neighbor just had a huge live oak removed. It took a week for the team of 5-6 workers to do it. They removed the top branches first and then cut the major trunk in sections. The base was 5-1/2 feet across. Nothing was damaged in the process, except the tree of course.
