Big tree fall down go boom in our yard sometime yesterday. It's one of three that were near the mouth of the driveway, something like 40 feet tall. Some sort of fir or something. Anyhow, it landed diagonally across the front lawn and along the edge of the driveway, crossing the front walkway. It managed to not hit the house or the car or any of the

You need a candy-pult to lob candy at the kiddies.

What's the diameter of the trunk (beside being much less than the diameter of the entire tree)?

Towards the bottom it's probably a foot or more. Sounds not very DIY once considering that.

At least that's manageable, if tricky, with a chainsaw. Probably doable with an axe and enough elbow grease, too. Pity I don't live nearby, or I could take a whack at it... literally and figuratively.

If a tree falls in your yard and no one hears it, does it make a sound? :)

Really glad that no one and no items were hurt! Talk about a surprise!

I don't get how we totally did not hear it. I mean, it's a BIG tree.

If you end up with piles of homeless firewood, I'd take some. :) Glad to hear that the tree didn't cause any damage!

I'm glad it didn't hit anything! Too bad you aren't closer - we have not one, but 2 chainsaws for sharing.

I just realized it's going to keep trick-or-treaters from coming to our house.

I use a moat for that.
