After the tree falling on the roof of the guest house we’ve been a lot more concerned about some of the eucalyptus trees. My father and I love trees and, and while this particular eucalyptus grove is managed for firewood, we’ve always been reluctant to cut too many at one time. If harvested correctly, they will re-grow and letting them get too old means they might die instead. Still, cutting trees is painful. But then, so is having trees fall on buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last storm that rolled through had particularly high winds. The worst of it missed us, but further into Uruguay there was substantial damage to homes, businesses, and surrounding woodlands. We decided a little bit of prevention might not be amiss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure you can tell from the pictures but we felled about fifteen trees. A couple were listing badly after the last storm, others we decided might be a danger. To fell them we waited for a day with strong winds coming from the right direction to give us a chance to miss the buildings. We missed the wood crib by inches<\/em>. But a miss is a miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that they’re down we have to cut and split them for firewood. I might be staring at trees for a while as this wasn’t in the fall plan. At least they can’t fall twice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un poco de prevenci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Despu\u00e9s de la ca\u00edda del \u00e1rbol en el techo de la casa de hu\u00e9spedes, hemos estado mucho m\u00e1s preocupados por algunos de los eucaliptos. A mi padre y a m\u00ed nos encantan los \u00e1rboles y, aunque este eucalipto en particular se maneja para le\u00f1a, siempre hemos sido reacios a cortar demasiados a la vez. Si se cosechan correctamente, volver\u00e1n a crecer y dejar que envejezcan demasiado significa que podr\u00edan morir. Aun as\u00ed, cortar \u00e1rboles es doloroso. Pero tambi\u00e9n lo es que los \u00e1rboles caigan sobre los edificios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00faltima tormenta que pas\u00f3 por all\u00ed tuvo vientos particularmente fuertes. Lo peor no nos alcanz\u00f3, pero m\u00e1s adentro de Uruguay hubo da\u00f1os sustanciales en casas, negocios y bosques circundantes. Decidimos que un poco de prevenci\u00f3n podr\u00eda no estar mal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No estoy segura de que se pueda decir en las fotos, pero talamos unos quince \u00e1rboles. Un par de ellos estaban mal listados despu\u00e9s de la \u00faltima tormenta, otros decidimos que podr\u00edan ser un peligro. Para derribarlos esperamos un d\u00eda con fuertes vientos que ven\u00edan de la direcci\u00f3n correcta para darnos la oportunidad de perdernos los edificios. Salvamos la cuna de madera por cent\u00edmetros<\/em>. Pero salvamos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahora que est\u00e1n abajo, tenemos que cortarlos y partirlos para le\u00f1a. Podr\u00eda estar mirando los \u00e1rboles por un tiempo, ya que esto no estaba en el plan de oto\u00f1o. \u00a1Al menos no pueden caerse dos veces!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
