falling firewood

We are always on the lookout for downed trees for firewood, preferably not too far from home, well we didn't have to look far for this one, a little too close. You know what they say, be careful what you wish for…

After the wicked wind storm early Friday morning we woke up to this hanging over our heads - literally. Luckily when this tree broke, it got caught in some other trees, otherwise it would definitely hit the house or deck or woodshed.

After studying it for a while and going over all the possible awful ways this could go if we tried to do this ourselves, and remembering our past experience with Murphy's law (if anything can go wrong, it will) Buddy decided to call in some help.

The tree guy came out late yesterday afternoon and secured the tree so it would not fall any farther, he will be back today to finish the job.
