Ouch.

Could have been worse, of course

Well Cop, some of that brick is cracked and damaged too. That whole front edge may need to be replaced. And as you can see,..that's a special colored white brick.

Have fun matching that!

True, someone will have to paint the new bricks, too.

Sucks.. most liklely was a homeowner trying to do it himself? Although that's a pretty damned big tree to be trying something like that

Proper beer and power equipment operation come with experience. A lesson learned,....they won't make the same mistake again.

A tree that size, would have been smart to rope some higher limbs down first then start cutting the bottom down.

Shoulda left the tree there. Trees are our friends....especially for Birds.

Stone,...that's how they did it. Once all the limbs were off, they thought they could drop the trunk between the houses,...they misjudged a bit.

Apparently they didn't cut enough off first.

Well, what happened, is when he made his wedge cut to get the angle for the tree to fall, he was a bit crooked.
