Trees you've cut

[They call me Mr. Kibbs]

We haven't really done any big or interesting jobs lately.
These are from today.

Not yet.
Someone wants me too on a big spruce. I don't know if it's a good idea.
Do the lower branches of the tree act as a counter weight to the top swaying in the wind or do they just catch the wind and add to the likelihood of the tree uprooting too?
I'm not into "topping" or reducing trees despite the fact it makes up a lot of our work. My mentality is to either have trees or don't. There are zero trees less than 30 meters away from any buildings on my property but I have lots of trees where they can't fall on anything in a storm.
