Wind Damage
So yesterday the UK was battered by 80mph winds, as usual during this time of year when we have had a large amount of rain and high winds are forecasted I tend to carry a chain saw around in the back of my Land Rover on the basis I will have trees down along the lane where I live.
It seems that yesterday was no exception apart from the size involved, normally I expect a couple of trees about 4-6inches in diameter to block my path, but last night it was more like 4-6 feet of english oak.
Two hours of chain saw work got me to the point of being able to drag the sections of tree aside with the use of the land rover, but it was still far too heavy and the wheels just spun so I had the call the local council out who moved them with a 17.5 ton lorry, that was all completed at 20:30 last night , 4 hours after I left work.
The next job is to retrieve some sections and use the oak as a new fireplace surround, something to do in the summer I think.
