Leanin’ Tree Update!

Published on December 22, 2008 in Home. 2 Comments

I heard a loud CRACK and BOOM, followed by a cloud of snow going by the window, and I knew the leanin’ tree had come down! I didn’t feel the house shake at all, so I was relieved that it hadn’t hit the house. Whew!

A close call!

Here’s one of several other branches that came down in our yard today. It actually didn’t cause any damage to this yard furniture!

Big snow!

I went out into the field across the street, and pushed the big straight-edge down into the snow… 14″ and still coming down!

Our Jeep can still go out in this stuff, but that Mazda in the background is not going anywhere!)

Hey! There appears to be a bald-eagle on our garage roof…

The Leanin’ Tree

Published on December 22, 2008 in Home. Closed

We have a tall Pine tree near our house that has been leaning for quite a while. With 14 inches of snow, and 1/2″ of ice, this tree is REALLY leaning now!

Here’s a very un-nerving photo of the tree and it’s proximity to our house… wow!

This next angle takes most of the worry away, as it looks like it is likely to miss the house. I’m almost hoping the ice and snow brings it down, so I won’t have to pay to have it done! (Unfortunately, it’ll undoubtably take out the fence!)
