[QUOTE="Ted Jenkins, post: 7650895, member: 143473"] After you have done this a couple of times you will realize how easy peasy this is. If you feel most comfortable tie a strap chain cable or rope to the highest section of the downed tree to keep from rolling into house. The tree as it sits likely could not roll no matter what other wise it would be in the house already. The line holding the tree only needs to keep the tree from moving while you cut on it. Pick a section of tree that you can cleanly get through to roll away from house. I would suggest choosing a section of tree no more than 1000 lbs. Tie that section off being supported by what ever is closest to being directly above. Cut that section into manageable rounds or split whichever is easiest. When that is done go on to the next. Soon all that will be left is the root ball. Thanks [/QUOTE]
