Tree looked quite healthy too. Did it make much noise when it decided to lie down?
I think it was about 11pm, and I heard something that didn’t sound too clever, but didn’t pay much attention as I was lay in bed nursing a banging headache.

Do you have a log burner?
I don’t, but my mate will be very grateful for it.

What with the very strong winds and heavy rain plus the shallow roots they are a recipe for disaster. Had a few 40ft high ones come down on fishing club lodge last year took two days to clear up. At least no one was hurt and you can rebuild.

Lucky it wasn't any taller, or it would have taken the other building out.
All sorted, I got to where it was in the first pic with my Aldi cordless chainsaw, a tree surgeon came mid morning and did the rest.
Incidentally, and here’s a recommendation for a product, the only part of the shed that remained intact, was a piece of timber bonded to a concrete fence post with CT1. It was there to tie into a corner post, just to take the last bit of whip out of the structure.

I’ve spent all yesterday and out at 7 this morning rebuilding, most enjoyable!
I took on board that when it was destroyed, the only part left intact was a timber post bonded to a concrete fence post with CT1. So this time round, the timber against the fence are bonded to the concrete posts with the same stuff. Need a few more rafters in there, then some slates, job done.
I even managed to salvage my quartz top for the workbench. It was dead handy for doing bits on when it’s raining, so was keen to save it.
