Getting boulder

 While the boys engaged in a Mexican standoff over the new bale of hayledge

 I carried on with the tree felling , my primary aim was not to succumb to gravity and join the falling timber

 and secondary aim was not to dislodge the ten ton of rock already worked lose by the tree roots.

There is a crash site for the boulder should it fall and provided it beds in rather than rolls the house is safe. Considering the 40 ton rock that fell in December 2006 missed I think we are pretty safe.
