House on the town green. There were dozens of trees like this. You can see the size of the root mass by the guy standing on the trunk.


Crappy phone pic also on the green, firetruck gives a sense of scale.


Nothing special, just a funky pic. Snapped it like a twig.


After about the 10th trip to the curb, my wife had the bright idea to get a work van to bring the brush out. It took 5 loads filled to the roof. I've got some more down in the far back but I'll get to that later and just chuck it into the woods.


Along those lines I got the idea to get our Piggyback from work and brought the pieces of trunk out. I cut it into 3-4' sections and rolled them up onto a pallet, 4-5 at a time. That was about 6 trips.


I don't like the term lazy, I prefer resourceful.


1/2 of my pile.


Our neighbor's to the south, Rocky Hill, to the rescue!

My brother and I went for a drive through the area to survey the aftermath. It was tough getting around, a lot of the roads where closed to filled with clean-up crews and where we were didn't even look like it was the worst area hit. I did make note of one house on Ridge Road that still had a tree leaning against it that no one was working on......
