After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Its not so much the height that was an issue, he'd lopped enough off it to not hit the neighbouring fence, they just just didn't pull it far enough to the right when they dropped it. He said it was about 130 foot tall.
In hindsight if they'd lopped more off it wouldnt have mattered much where it fell.
Found a pic that hubby took before the tree was dropped, gives an idea how big it was.
The shed is only just out of shot to the left of the pic.
There Is a very big gum trees in our neighbours yard that I am always worried about in high winds. It looks strong and healthy, but you never know with gums do you. Every so often the council comes along and trims back one side away from the power lines which, I think, makes it lop sided and even more prone to falling.
Im glad they are fixing your shed for you punch. Why did that particular tree have to come down amongst all the others in the photo? Sorry if you have already said why.
OMG, it has taken me longer to correct all the auto corrects in what I just typed than it took to write in the first place! Bloody iPad 
Its dead lurker, not sure what happened to it but it all just turned brown and died quite suddenly. Our neighbour has one that did the same, maybe they were struck by lightning or something, we thought mybe termites but it didnt have any.
We figured it was better to knock it down for firewood than risk it dropping.
