Lesson Learned

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

That's shitty man.  I had a HUGE water maple at the end of my drive that had started rubbing the corner of my house, was hanging over the privacy fence, and almost reaching the pool.  On the other side, it was hanging over my neighbor's driveway, and if the wind was right, could have potentially stuck his house if it blew over.  He also has a camper sitting in the end of his drive.  So, I went over and got him, and showed the hazard, and told him I was going to at least top the tree.  He was grateful I was going to do that.  So, I rented a lift, bought a pole saw, broke out the trusty Poulan, and took the beast down for a fraction of the cost.  The beauty was, he gladly helped cut the limbs up and helped me clean all of it up.  It's nice living next to folks who look out for each other instead of what you're dealing with.
