OWCH!
I personally witnessed one of these type of mishaps, My next door neighbor bought the new house next to mine 8 years ago, when the house was built the developer disturbed the roots of a very large Poplar resulting in the tree dying, it was 30 ft. from the house, the person ( my neighbor ) had became worried about the wind blowing it down on top of his house, keep in mind he is a so called equipment operator & landscaper and knew how to handle a chainsaw..:thumbsup: well one day while working in my shop I hear his chain saw fire up,
I step out to take a looksee and see him standing next to this big 100 ft tall x 3 ft thick tree,
I thought to my self Oh sh%!...
he see's me looking at him and just threw up a hand to wave, I went back into my shop minding my own business, when suddenly I heard the loud Cry out
(((( OH SH%! )))) and then felt the earth shake and crash of wood splintering, I then ran back outside and seen him running around next to this cut down tree that he had split his new house right in 1/2.. he come running over to the fence asking me what the ((( Hjj is he going to do? ) and muttering out the phrase "my wifes going to kill me my wife is going to kill me" over and over again.
and then he went into shock....
Well he ask me what was he going to do? Like I had the answers!.... I told him to calm down and call his wife... and to start getting up some tarp covers, we were to expect some stormy weather that night and much rain expected, which I suppose was his reason for attepmting to cut down the tree in the first place for fear it would be blown on top of his house, well :confused2:, My family and I spent the next 12 hours helping cut 12" chunks at a time from this tree off from his house each chunk must have weigh 75-100 lbs each... untill we finally got down to the what was left of his house, we then stretched a tarp cover over what was left of the roof,
Oh! BTW his wife made him get rid of his chainsaw and called in the pulp wooders to remove every tree from their lot ...............
