that cottage got off quite lightly considering the size of the oak.

nice trunk,got any offers for planking on it yet?

[p-hardy]

yeah, atleast half of the roof will need to be replaced but atleast the brickwork seems safe. smashed windows etc too.

 

na, the guy who owns the tree refused offers on having the trunk taken away for good money and decided to cut it up for fire wood instead. unbelievable!

Yep, Yin's had your work cut out for you, kinda of reminds me of Hurricane clean up here in Florida x's hundreds of homes. Take care.

I'd be interested to know how much that would be worth as I've got an Oak that came down a couple of days ago that is that kind of size if not bigger. I was just going to log it up and sell for firewood...

the main stem was pretty straight with no knots, roughly 7 tonne involved. i would say you would easily get £700 for it
