This is the big dead tree that Joel caught on fire. In fact, if you look at the upper branches, you may still see some char. We do need to remove the dead tree, but burning it from the top down, probably is not the best way to do it.
Apparently 100 year old lapboard siding is backed with tar. It was used to waterproof and bug-proof the house. It's also highly flammable. One match, and about 20 seconds later you can experience flames shooting 30 feet in the air. Jody got his ears singed getting it back under control. It was very very funny----after we knew the house wasn't going to burn down.
