We had a nasty one with two pine trees on the same house.

I was going to say that didn't look too bad, till I got to the last picture and can see there has to be a bunch of structural damage on that side.

That's why I'm not a fan of trees near houses. There's a large cherry tree behind my parents house that I've been wanting to take down for years. My dad wants it to stay because it shades the house during the summer. Its around 75ft tall, about 30" DBH, and about 30ft away from the house. It would need a stiff south wind to blow it to his house, and our worst storms usually come from the W or SW, but then the tree lands on his workshop if it falls to the east. Some day I'll convince him it's time to come down.

Nice work you do . I used to think we were safe with no trees near the house but after living on the property for 30 years the trees have grown so much i think the house is in reach of some of them.

Here's another one. This tree landed on top of a small barn.

Not directly crane related but we got all the fixes and tag stuff situated on the new chip truck. With craning pieces we can put enough on the ground to make our hauling off debris be the bottleneck. It tows the mini ex like its not even there.
