Well, it’s been a few months, so it must be time for another tree! Lolcry

Storms this week uprooted two half dead trees that I had been meaning to remove. One of them (the furthest from the house) clipped the railing and the edge of the porch.

If the tree had fallen about 18" in another direction, it would have missed the house completely. On the other hand, a few feet in the other direction and it would have taken out some painfully expensive windows. So, overall I’ll take this as a win.

Some general carnage pics, and a shot of me in my safety sunglasses and baseball hat pushing the limits of my lil cordless chainsaw.

In the end, fixed enough for now.

Hopefully we can wait until the spring to redo the deck… Maybe we can finally do the screened in porch that @slocum7209 wants so badly.
