R.I.P OUR SHADY BACKYARD TREE

Our poor tree. 
It served us well...and now it is dead.
 
We are hoping to still use the trunk as our movie screen pole.
 
In the beginning of our sauna contruction we were told that we needed to get rid of our tree because of some concerns with roots and our septic tank.
 
As painful as it was to kill the tree, a failed septic tank would have probably been 1000 X worse - and much stinkier!


 
I drilled holes to the trunk and poured some root/tree killer into the holes. 
Hoping that will do the trick!
 
Note to self...using a wrong kind of drill bit will cause the drill bit to get stuck to the trunk and it is very hard to get it out!
