  1. I’m betting he can kiss his @ss good-bye too when it sinks into wifey pooh.
    She should think of it as an opportunity for an addition with that bay window
    that she always wanted and a new couch.

  2. I’ve watched US Forestry men fell some 300 foot trees in Calif. They can put out a flag 200 feet away and hit it. This guy didn’t think of driving steel wedges in direct the angle it would fall. That video was painful to watch.

  3. Dunno, guys. Somehow it looks kinda staged. He sure doesn’t seem to care one way or the other about the damage. Maybe, it’s a neighbor’s house.

  4. I gotta tell this little story. True. A guy from work was in a company vehicle
    and took it to the lake on the weekend. Big no-no. Went over to the brother-in-laws
    cabin down the road and as he was pulling in, yep, bro-in-law was dropping a tree.
    Truck and canopy, very damaged. Talk about bad timing. Got a week in the park for
    that one but is still employed. We still call him Timber.

  5. Richard,

    Why stage it? Not that in the wonderful internet land it would be impossible but…

    I’ve never dropped a tree and screwed it up.

    I don’t think I would try dropping one that close to my own house unless I was drunk, no, I wouldn’t pick up a chain saw had I been drinking.

    I’ll go with my first instinct here…..

    moron
