Last month I was walking down the front and noticed a gap in the trees along the road, a large pine tree had fallen down ... in the direction of the road. Luckily, it had fallen diagonally and not right across the road. I think it may have spilled onto the road but some very kind passer by had already removed any large pieces from the road. I didn't hear it fall, so I don't even know when it happened. I hope this is just a one-off and no other large trees will fall down. Of course the top fence wire is broken and the rest of the fence is taking the strain, but there are no animals in the front 'house paddock'.
We have not been able to get out there with a chainsaw yet but intend to cut it up and bring the pieces in for fire wood. I know pine is not all that good for the chimney but together with other wood it will be fine.
