x6 men at my place 😱
When I got home after the shop today I found the 10m high dead tree out back had toppled onto the the corner of the house, 😱 - most the weight precariously balanced on the rainwater tank. I was worried a wind could bring it down sideways into windows etc. The local tree lopper wasn't answering his phone so I rang the SES. Turns out it was a job they didn't have to do because it hadn't officially broken any infrastructure or posed threat to life (YET), however, they realised it could, so took the chainsaw and ladder to it and 3hrs later it was down. wow!
A branch fell on the rusty rainwater tank roof and it collapsed, tearing the tin holes out a bit - water poured out for ages. And the trunk badly dinted the top of the tin fense as it came down with a bang. Nobody was hurt and the SES guys worked so well together, well, for middle aged+ inexperienced blokes with big hearts, there was avlot of discussion.
I never had so many men here. they glowed like angels with the sun glowing off their bright orange overalls. It was good of them to do it. They had a new gov vehicle they christened, first callout in it, wow!
I have a mountain of cuttings in the neighbours driveway to have carted away. Neighbour good about it all ☺
