Well, I just got back from making friends with the neighbor behind us. Really nice guy. He heard the big crash in the night and got up and went outside thinking somebody had wrecked into his truck in his driveway. He's as much muddled as we are about the easement if there is one and who if anybody is supposed to maintain the land and all of that but he does not care if the trees get gone. He said we can drop them into his yard if that makes it easier. We'll be waving at each other in our back yards.
I'm going to pay the bill for it because it's an immediate threat to our house and will never be a threat to his house, the trees are too far away from his house to hit it. I've called Mister Tree again and he'll look at them on Sunday and cut them within the next two weeks. His jobs are backed up after the tornado carved up Chattanooga. It's a miracle we were able to get service yesterday, he called his crew off of another job since ours was more of an emergency because today it's raining.
And the tarp over the hole in the roof works better than the rain gutter ever did. I can sit in the kitchen and watch rain run right off of there. Kinda peaceful like a waterfall.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Have you found your property corners? I am not throwing stones o don't know where mine are.
Some times you can find them on your own other you need a survivor to locate them. It looks likes Cleveland's GIS site might have GPS pull it up on a smart phone and walk out to the corner. The photo makes it look like a few feet of the trees are yours but mostly the neighbor behind.

It doesn't look that bad on GIS but it is normally tax map quality not survey quality. If only we knew a rear surveyor paging BBR !

The one best way to prevent a tree from falling on your house is to get rid of the trees. Those tree guys are sure fun to watch. They just now felled the tall top of the tallest pine tree and the end of it landed about 2 feet from our air conditioner. Lemme tell ya, these guys are GOOD. I can publish and post the pine tree video if y'all like this one.

Growing up one of my best friend's Dad was the Chief Forrester for Huron Metroparks, a major chain of parks in SE Michigan. They (the Dad and 4 sons) often did tree trimming on Saturdays as a side job and I sometimes helped. This was before wood chippers and tracked vehicles - he had sons instead. I never climbed (I suppose Henry (the Dad) didn't want to explain to my Dad what happened to my arm) but I cut up stuff once it was on the ground, stuffed the trailer with limbs and raked up the schrapnel. All the boys climbed and it was a ballet to watch them. Sometimes they also used a member of Henry's team from his work to climb - he was perhaps the first serious hot rodder I ever met. I was never good with heights so never aspired to do that work but it was fun to watch as a team member which was like being a supporting cast member in the play (it was a small town so this was entertainment for the masses).

This was a very tall pine. Aaron dropped the top of it right next to the air conditioner. These guys are GOOD.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Going to have a monster size oak tree in my front yard trimmed up in about a month, HUGE limbs. John's going to have a field day watching them. Then Robert's going to have a field day cutting it up for firewood.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23
