Gigantic live oak on my property

[cajundetector]

Not sure how exactly how old, but assuming over 100. As you can see, branches extend over my shop. Had to get them raised. Constant work keeping debris off of roof. Metal detected around base, found a bunch of log dogs most likely used by cypress loggers. Hopefully this tree does not take me out lol!

Thank ya’ll! Here’s a good evening shot as it overhangs. Tree company cannot cut as it would be an illegal cut. I would have to “go through the state”. I’m not to concerned, it’s beautiful and keeps my AC bill very low.
