I did a search and didn't find anything, but I suspect this has been posted before... Still, it was the first time I'd seen it, so I thought I'd share in case there were some who hadn't caught this before.

(skip to 2:48 for the 'goods')


Anyone have any good felling stories? You know... smashed your truck, took your roof down, etc... lol

I've dropped some tight ones, but nothing like that! Nice to have a perfectly straight trunk; The ones I drop would have hit the ground, flew sideways, and took out the shed. ;lol

If these guys had insurance, I wonder what the company would say about that. They even missed the two steps into the shed.
 
Thought it was interesting that the hard hat/face guard were on the ground 5 feet in front of the tree instead of on the guys taking the tree down. Must have been for alignment purposes LOL...IMO that drop was more luck than pure skill...Not that I am an expert by any means...
 
If that tree had landed on him it would have just ruined a perfectly good hard hat and face guard.

#1: "Dang it! Just got a letter that Sheriff is going to sell my foreclosed house at auction."
#2: "Take the light bulbs with you--that'll teach 'em!"
#1: "Yeah!...Wait a minute...I bet we could sell some wood..."

Who knows how these things go.

Why are we assuming it's HIS house?
 
This video came up on my Facebook feed, and credited a specific tree service/logging outfit with the felling job. I'll try to find that info.
