The reason why it’s taking so long is mostly that we’re in a fairly sparsely populated area on the outskirts of town. So not only do we have a lot of these big trees around, PGE also always ends up prioritizing the areas with many more customers affected.
But it doesn’t help that this really is a pretty massive tree, and it has also fallen in a way that makes it hard to remove, with the middle unsupported.
One of our neighbors has a brother that is a logger, and he apparently thought you might want two trucks to get it out: one to support the tree while the other cuts it from above.
Me not being a logger just nodded wisely.

@torvalds You could maybe try to cut it from below.
(The problem is that if the side you cut is compressed by the bending direction, your saw gets stuck.)
The downside of cutting from below is that you then work your saw against gravity instead of with it (unless you put it on a big lever…).
And you probably shouldn't /stand/ below it while you cut. The more I think about it, the more I wish for a chainsaw on a big stick.
