It doesn;t look like much is wrong here does it?
Here's the limb on the house. About half of the branches had been removed.
This was what it looked like after it fell to the ground.
The siding got a little scraped up.
The rain gutter got bent a little.
Here is what is still attached to the tree.
The end of the branch that snapped off the tree.
A pile of cut-up branches.
Half of the branch propped up waiting to be cut.
All the small branches in a pile.
I got the last half of the big branch mostly cut up. Now I need a bigger chainsaw to finish up.
There'll be a lot of chainsaws busy in the coming days I think. Glad your house is okay.
ReplyDeleteI almost had a good enough reason to get a big saw, but not quite yet.
DeleteGlad you escaped lightly.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been much worse.
DeleteA chainsaw is like a pickup truck ... you don't need it often, but when you do, there's nothing else that will do the job.
ReplyDeleteTrue. But then it can sit for years. Luckily the two I have are electric but they are limited. But they can sit for years without having to worry if they'll start up.
DeleteWow, that was a helluva big branch! Lucky it didn't do worse damage.
ReplyDeleteI know. It could have done a lot more damage.
DeleteWe have a tool collective in the village. So only one guy has a big chainsaw which one can borrow. I have the only AF and whitworth spanners. The usual ones are metric here in Germany.
ReplyDeleteWell you got me searching the internet Stu. I didn't know there were so many different varieties of wrenches or bolt varieties. Head size, thread angle, thread spacing, etc. In my next life I'll know better.

Metrinch looks interesting but it's expensive. Besides, I have full sets of SAE and metric.
What a workout for you! Any sore muscles?
ReplyDeleteNot sore, just tired. When I got done on the roof I just laid down and though, I'll just stay up here awhile. Nice breeze, nobody can find me...
DeleteBoy would my hubby love to come help and take away some of that wood. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish he was here to take it. Most of the big part of the limb was in good shape.
DeleteHoly smokes - that's a big limb.
ReplyDeleteI cut off the end in the second last picture down to where the bricks were. I though I'm just going to move this over a little on the bricks. HA! It wouldn't budge an inch. I had to get my jack back out to move it.
DeleteThat is one thick branch that snapped off!
ReplyDeleteToo say the least!
