I dont know the exact story, tree rotted at base, fell on house, and three cars. All cars were totaled. Guy near burnt the house down after dousing the bees in the cavity of an upper limb w/ kero and then deciding to "smoke" the out w/ burning card board. Natural selection in action! :o Fortunately he had an extinguiser right inside the garage. I will flitch mill them.

 Crane is 3200 lbs and was being WORKED heavily. I love that crane! Truck too.

So you couldn't just cut off a few limbs and use the van to deliver the log to the mill? ;D
