Right on.

It's rather amazing nobody was hurt.

I'd be keeping some of those logs from that big ole girl ---- have them made into lumber --- could make some sweet fun stuff with that

here's 10% of that beautiful tree..

Hear! hear!

Seriously! Have lumber made. If it were me I'd have it rough cut, sticker and stack it for a year, then have it planed. Possibilities are endless from there.  

well it's all on my neighbors property...and when it comes to wood I'm only good with tooth picks and chopsticks..

This is the problem with the suburbs. I live near Jason and I've had about six big trees taken down over the years because I was afraid of them coming down on my house. Every time I've thought about doing something cool with the wood but there's no place for me to store it. I always hope the tree guys do something other then chop it into firewood but I don't know that they do.

Yea, I thought of that as I was typing.

For you guys it would take some doing to get that done which is too bad. It wouldn't take up much room, you could stack it next to a garage or something like that but it would be an eyesore for a year or so. I think the hard part would be finding somebody to rough cut it for you. Maybe, just maybe, somebody down there has a portable saw and could do it right in the back yard where it lays?

Is it white oak or red oak?
If it’s red, firewood - if it’s white, you got yourself some valuable lumber.

white oak
since it all fell on my neighbor's house and yard it's all his..

i am just left with a massive stump an uprooted root system

Holy crap it's been raining for like a week straight and we get like 10 minutes of sun and this guy's watering his lawn
