ZeroTolerance 582 Posted April 17, 2019 A few years back, had an interesting trauma come in at the end of my shift. Dude shoots up some heroin, and decides he is going to climb a rotting tree in his yard and cut off the top portion, because who hasn't shot up heroin and had the urge to do some landscaping? Well, the tree wasn't having any of his sh*t, and in what I can only assume is a rare case of arborial murder/suicide, falls over, sandwiching him between itself and the roof of the house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People had an irrational fear of going to the beach after Jaws. I'm having the same feeling about taking down a tree, only I'm not thinking it's irrational. I've fouled up my share of home improvement projects, it's like I'm looking at myself. There but for the grace of God go I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,516 Posted April 17, 2019 No one got hurt but a few years ago from my upstairs window I saw this guy cutting a big limb off a tree kitty corner to my yard... Could tell he didn't really know what he was doing. Anyway limb comes down and takes out a panel of my fence. Went down to the yard and first thing I said was "I take it you're not a professional."
