Tree Almost Hit Our House

Ok, so this morning we had some trees cut down because they were dead.tree To be more detailed, we had two trees cut down. The first one went without incident but the second one hit our gazebo and almost our house. I was in my room working on a webpage when I heard a loud THUMP! I thought nothing of it because I had been hearing the loud THUMP!’s all morning from the trees hitting the ground. But this time was different, my mom called me to the dining room and told me to come and look. Then I saw what had happened. Since the top part of the second tree was hollow, the workmen had to cut lower than they wanted to, and so the tree went further away from where they cut than they expected. So the tree hit our gazebo, knocked off the heron wind direction thingy, and almost hit our house, getting within feet of the windows.

Update: I had first thought it was two trees but I now know it is three.

    Nothing like some excitement to keep you on your toes! I’m glad nobody got hurt.

    Great photo and lots of excitement, we’re sure. The birds will miss that tree – the squirrels, too, but you’ll have nice firewood. Hope the Heron comes back.:-)

    I saw my buddy’s house all done up with motorized curtains and I have to say it’s probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all year.

    What is the average cost to get something like that going?
