Dangerous work but folks love their stick built homes here in the US
That would certainly work. We have a number of dead or dying doug firs and hemlocks on our steep acreage - caused by what we consider a drought in our rain forest on southern Vancouver Island. Some will become firewood, others to remain as wildlife trees. The ocean below will again become more visible.
