Its a miracle when a tree collapses right by a house, or a cottage, with things around it, and nothing is damaged at all. I got stuck today clearing out an area by my cottage where a decent sized tree came down during a storm we had recently. I had to use a hatchet to cut it which caused my hands to become blistered. And it hurts like hell. sure, the work was fun, but the aftermath was painful. I actually almost sent myself to the hospital because i missed a swing on a branch... the hatchet came down and missed my leg by about half an inch. Thank god for my quick reflexes (quick, like a fox, ironically) But, yes, nature has a way of telling us to piss off, and we have to clean up the mess, which tends to cause pain, mainly in my hands :P
