And to think I get annoyed at people painting over electrical outlets instead of taking off the plate and going around...

Annoyed is an understatement. Why would anybody do that anyway? Or even attempt to cut around them? And if they're old and stained, why don't folks just buy new ones? JFC

You could build a house with a log that big...

Took me a moment to notice, that tree didn't fall in a storm, it was cut.
Boy, you sure #$%&ed up there, dinchya?

But it looks like they were cutting on the correct side, and somehow it twisted back around as it fell. Maybe the branches got caught on the tree next to it and forced a pirouette.

Certainly, it looks like it has twisted, but a proper tree-cutter is supposed to prevent that. I hope they have some gooooood insurance.

I don't think they cut it properly.
You should first take out a wedge on the side you want it to fall, half-way into the trunk. Then you cut into that wedge from the opposite side. I am not sure but it looks like they haven't done that. Rather they've just gone straight through and hoped it would fall downhill. Man, that is one maaaajoooor fail.

I'm with you, Zen. I think they botched it.
