Shame, but they would have made me nervous also, they were big enough to do a good bit of damage, and the pines seem to always topple first in a really bad storm.
Beautiful house, looks like the neighbors aren't too close either...my version of heaven.
We did a split with the loggers for cutting and hauling- Lower grade wood, but still came out w/couple grand. We got Alder/Maple all over if needed for the stove.
Had a new roof put on 2 summers ago, and when the Spring Chinook winds came thru this year, a 15' top came down, the tip just tagging the gutter.
