The close call with a curious homeowner during a limb removal

I was taking down a big limb last month and the homeowner kept walking right into the fall area to take pictures. It was super awkward trying to shout over the saw. Some guys on my crew think we should stop the job until they back off, but others say it's part of the gig and we just work around it. Where do you all stand on this, lol?

Man, that sounds like a legit scary situation.

Describe what made it so scary. Was it the noise, the people, or something else? How long were you stuck in that situation? Do you think you handled it well, or did you just freeze up? What part of it still gets to you when you think back?

The part about being alone in the dark for 30 minutes is just wild, @adamk95. That's insane to think about being stuck like that with no way out. If the power cut out and you couldn't see a thing, I'd be totally losing my mind. How do you even begin to stay calm when everything goes silent and you're just waiting? I keep picturing it and my heart starts racing just from the idea. You must have been counting every second until help showed up.
