Why, do you have a death wish?

There are times when the best course is to stand and confront the danger; there are times when the best course is to

; the trick is getting the right response to each type. GOOD CALL!

Holy guacamole, Lamp.
Bucking the trend of Dwellar bad luck in 2013. Survival instincts, you got them.

Not sure why you left the tree standing after the first incident.

Glad your hearing is still good!

What feetz said ,
Dont leave an accident waiting to happen

They don't call 'em 'widowmakers' fer nothing.

BigV · 07-18-2013, 01:13 PM

Didn't you say you were moving to a different place LL?

That tree will be someone else's problem then.

I'm glad you're OK. The butt end of the LIMB is three feet across, holy crabcakes.

Today a tree service company removed the "widow-makers" left on the trunk.
We now have a new living sculpture on the property.

So you've given Tyhee Saghalie a huge war club with which he might smite you at his leisure. Good luck, white man.

Excellent reference there, xoB !

What I see here is death by strangulation; and the murderer is English Motherfucking Ivy. Look how high up those vines climbed on the trunk. They could only do that if they were well rooted at the base, and well rooted ivy strangles the roots of its host.

RIP Douglas Fir.

Lamplighter · 08-13-2013, 04:09 PM

The ivy vines you see on the trunk have been dead for 20+years
But, point taken.

Eventually this 200 yr-old tree, like all firs, will have to come down,
but for now it's another example of "not on my watch" cowardice.

That's based on a belief that the killing efficiency of ivy
is no where near that of the chain saw.

If he lives very long with no head, you may have to change Dougie's name to Mike.
