Timber!

Post by Thomas W-P »

We were sitting at breakfast this morning when CRACK! 1/4 of our 15m walnut tree fell on to the terrace outside the kitchen.

Amazingly it only killed one chair, one solar powered light and a flower pot.

So an interesting day of cross-training - lugging/cutting/de-leafing/burning huge volumes of tree.

Wow! Sounds like a lucky escape.

Had a college friend who had a narrow escape from death when a large tree fell on their house and crushed half of his bedroom during the 1987 'Michael Fish - don't worry, it's not a hurricane' storm.

Amazing how much damage a tree can do when it comes down... :shock:
