Storm damage
Just got home from the city @ 12:30 & seen one of my spruce trees uprooted & fence was lifted out & tree stradling fence. Figured I might as well unload from all the shopping before I assessed the damage.
Well, there is a 2 ft hole in the ground, fence is damaged - have to fix that first thing so dogs don't get away, there is a car buried somewhere under the tree & my stump grinder is hiding there someplace also.
Will post pics tomorrow.

Oh yikes where abouts are you . I'm just watching the news they said that eastern Alberta and Saskatchewan have been very favorable for big tornados this year . With the humidity and what not . Some of the worlds biggest storm chasers are here .
Should be a great summer ,

Yes, east, but after today I'm not sure which way is even up. And thanks for the offer to help, but usually I don't know more than 5 minutes in advance what I will be doing next. I do know that tomorrow I have to lift some rafters for a new house, so probably won't get much done in the way of tree removal. I spent 10 hrs today with chainsaw in hand. Took down all 3 of the trees in this front yard. The customer was very fortunate, just a small hole in his roof, trashed the eavestrough & broke the 2x6 facia on the front.

The last significant rain we had was June 9, we got half an inch. All we have had since then is little showers, just enough to settle the dust.

Finally have pictures from damage at my place. It will probably be a week before I can get to cleaning this up, I have too many other places to clean up first.
