I'd love to see the process by which they split those members from the trunk. Judging by the man standing on the left, the section they're working on is at least 12' tall and 16' in diameter... at minimum. It's kinda funny to think of these men as vegetable harvesters, and that homes are made largely of vegetables. And, yes, trees are vegetables, at least from the perspective of termites, wood beetles, woodlice and fungus... and humans.

"Why not?" some would ask.
Recent developments prove, unequivocally, vegetables and creatures alike, assume any identity they want.
