Yes it was a close one...... gonna be a challenge just cutting it out of there and clean up the mess. Guess is not my last trip out this year as intended. Gonna need my big come-along, a couple chains and a big nylon strap or two... and a second saw. The trunk is 8-9 feet off the ground and set to roll down hill against the back of the cabin the second you start limbing so that must be controlled. As it is now there still a great danger that damage to the camp is still a concern.Close call Robin, lucky no serious damage. I cut down all tall trees around my camp right after the last hurricane we had blow through just in case.. I did get to remove a 8X6' wood framed picture window yesterday, heavy ole beast. Slid er out into the Ford dump without serious incident and re framed the opening down to 50X50", far less heat loss now.

I got lucky, my half height staging frames matched the height of the window exactly and with 2 staging decks set in place the window just tipped down from the top, bottom stayed right on the sill til I gently set the whole frame down on across decks. Then backed the dump truck right up to it, tailgate about 2" lower than the unit, just a slide it into the box job and move the truck. Now the truck becomes a trash receptacle for the rest of the cast off`s. Installed new siding all around this morning, move inside and insulate after lunch.Yes it was a close one...... gonna be a challenge just cutting it out of there and clean up the mess.

Had the same deal with my 8x6 picture window unit at home earlier. The bride and I managed the old one out and the new one in doing a lot of sliding and building temporary staging at precisely the right heights to make it easier. Still a very heavy unit for two people!!
Yeah.......that was a close one!! Big azzed tree!!! Looks like it fell even further to the left and then rolled back toward the cabin.....that's the only way that crooked part could have got where it is without knocking the corner right off the building.Dam Lad........glad it turned out the way it did.
Could have been.......well........you know
OUCH!!!A guy didn’t set the brake wat the packing shed.
Bumped the truck with the fort truck unloading.
Rolled down toward the 1811 brick farm house.
Power pole saved it.
Yep, they absolutely love that blue stuff, reduce it to piles of blue dust they do! They don`t like engine exhaust one bit.Did I EVAH tell you guys how much carpenter ants really love that blue foam we frantically try to fill every void in our house framing with.....like headers, corner posts, partition blocks etc.??

Don't know if you'll be able to see it but if you zoom in on the sunset pic you'll see I caught Saddleback Light doing it's thing...a two second flash every 6 seconds.
Interesting history here...
