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 If you would've lived in Sweden and this happened, it would probably take a month minimum. We are not very efficient when it comes to road work and clearing things for emergencies. Atleast not in the south. No idea about the middle and nothern part. So you are very lucky that you don't have to deal with that long of a service.
