We had some trees chopped down beside our house because they were threatening to fall on it, and then one of them did! But it was only on the corner of the outside loo, and though the metal roof was torn, there was less damage than if it had happened at night and onto our bedroom!
The man with the chainsaw was a bit 'trigger happy' so I'm glad the whole experience is over and we have some firewood for our cooker. Some of the gum trees were long and straight, so they were cut up into 2 x 6" beams for buildings or furniture. Now the front 'lawn' is covered in sawdust. Someone else was interested: Since the trees have been down, we've had regular visits from a Ground Hornbill. He's about 3 feet tall, black with white wing-tips (wingspan around 4ft) and has a red throat! His call is like a drum-beat!
