My first question is why cut down this big nice tree? Although it did look like it may have been dying… Secondly, was this guy planning on tearing down his house to rebuild anyway? Yeah I doubt that.. MY goodness, get a prof. tree guy that knows what he doin’!!! And he has a “sorta” smile in the last pic, so I take it nobody was killed.

Massa Eagle– Your shuffling always amuses me. Yeah, we have our mutants, as does the UK. Percentage-wise it’s prolly about the same, but we still have more in numbers.

Dan Jo– Bozo got a chainsaw for his birthday and just HAD to use it on something. If it weren’t for the tree, he’d have found the porch.

thelit– It was an act of nature, physics and gravity combined. The chainsaw is innocent and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As for Doug, well, he’s just a chucklehead.

Ya know, it occurs to me that Mr. Murphy was laying down on the job here. Shouldn’t the “natural order” require that the tree fall on the idiot himself, regardless of where he stands? But then again, maybe this was just Nature’s way of reclaiming some turf.

This is planned. Note that, had the tree fallen away from the house, it probably would have landed on the truck (pic 2 & esp. 3). OKay, maybe not, but still truck is parked FAR too close to the opposite direction that the tree actually fell.
However, look at the size of the wedge cut out of the house-side of the tree. It’s huge and goes just about to the center (pics 3, 4 & 5). That tree landed very precisely where it was intended. Actually an excellent cut. I’d hire that guy any day of the week to drop a tree exactly where he says he could drop it.

Please note that their truck was parked in the street the whole time. I think they were intending to drop this on the house. The alternative was to drop it on their truck. Hmmmm.

I’ve never cut a tree down in my life and I wouldn’t consider doing it that way! What the heck were they thinking? Start at the top, trim the side branches and cut sections off the top on your way down. Use guide wires/ropes to pull the top pieces in the direction you need.
