Neighborly morning chainsawing 2024-08-10

This oak tree was still on the phone line, blocking Quarterman Road, almost a week after Hurricane Debby. So a bunch of neighbors removed it.

Neighborly chainsaw cleanup of oak on phone line 2024-08-10, SW Quarterman Road, by Brooks, Ashley, Larsen, Barzallo, and Quarterman families

Here are some video snippets:

Thanks to William Brooks, elder and younger, Dennis Ashley, Tom Larsen, Alexandria Larsen, Racheal Brooks, and Max Barzallo.

Thanks to Wild Green Future for the grant that bought the WWALS 24-inch Husqvarna 460 chainsaw that I used to saw the main trunk. Turns out the oak heart was mostly rotten, which may have something to do with why it blew over.
