"TIMMMMMMMBER" - aka House meets Tree Update

Tomorrow (Monday) the sawing is to begin.  If it doesn't, I swear I will be 
bringing a chainsaw home and doing my best  lumberjack impersonation.  Of course, Mrs. W has warned me that if I do, one of two things (or both) will definitely happen:
  1. I will cause even more damage to the house (I have to think is is probably right)
  2. I will cut off at least one limb (again, highly likely)
With that in mind, I will be increasing my accidental death/dismemberment coverage on my personal insurance tomorrow in anticipation of the inevitable.

After this week, my new nickname will likely be Lefty.

Here's another pic of the damage.....



By the way, the house is about 100 years old....and once we get rid of all the ^%$#^& trees around it maybe it will be around for another 100.

Please don't do what a friend's husband did: saw through the tree limb that you are presently on. Bad move.

You sound like M. "If they can't get here when they say they'll be here, then I'll do it myself!"

That scares the bejeebers out of me! :oO

I swear the same architect must've designed our houses...they're almost identical. And ours is just over 100 years old.

Weird.

Whoa!!! Was it the snow or the wind? Back home in Wyo, we had a huge wind storm, and the wind uprooted a 30 ft pine in the front yard. Luckily, it fell just so that the only damage was a window hinge. If it had gone in any other direction, it would have been the roof, some cars, and most certainly, powerlines.
