Tree Down

The giant spruce tree fell at midnight Sunday.
Tuesday at 4:15 pm we got our power back.

If you look at the pictures below you will see that the tree was laying flat on the ground until I cut the next to last 8 foot piece off. Then the weight of the root ball stood the trunk up again, almost taking the wires out again.

So I had to cut the tree down again.

Some good sized piles of brush were generated from the limbs.

Ripped out by the roots.

The tree missed the house and came down between my car and Meg's car. Some of the branches did do a little damage to my car.

The tree was 69 feet tall and contains 350 board feet of lumber
