This popped over on Boxing Day.

 

did it miss the building completely or was there a bit of damage??

Nice job Gareth, where was that?

 

Just of the Kings Road, East Belfast. Also got a car out from this one in Newtownards. We had 4 trees to deal from the Boxing Day storm.

Just caught the corner of the roof cladding, nothing to major. It's a church hall - Devine intervention.

 

We had to rely on a winch on to stop it falling back into the hall as we dismantled it - just in case our connections with the big guy weren't strong enough.

split popular with was a bit awkward, rigged it unto the polar behind, and roped the butt back to one of the conifers so it couldnt all role into the pond next to it, got myself anchored in the popular and conifer, all went fine, early day

Great pics guys. I had a surprise on coming home from work on Friday to find the road ahead entirely blocked by a 35ft Cypress that had seconds before fallen on a Waitrose truck. Luckily the driver was unharmed! So I went to help clear up and a Hi-Line guy handed me a chainsaw. Together with a few other guys (stranded car drivers) we had the road cleared in about ten minutes flat! Sorry guys I didn't have time to take any pics - the usually quiet country road had a ten car tail back each way of impatient drivers.

Yeh and they probably thought we were the contracted clear up tree-surgeons rather than two off-duty ones trying to get home:lol:!

Apparent quick response would have impressed the punters - hope you had some sign writing on your van for some good advertising :lol:

A Western Hemlock had fallen into an Acer in Killerton House Gardens. Quite a challenge this one!
