So there we are, going through our morning routine, and it seems as though it's going to be a day like any other. Until we back out of the garage...and hit a 20 foot limb that's fallen across the driveway.
This one wasn't as big as the one that fell and damaged the fence on Wednesday, but it was still a doozie. We dragged it out of the way and took off for the train station.
This tree has made us nervous for years, and all the rain in the last week has seemed to weaken it greatly by saturating the limbs.
We've been lucky so far, in that it hasn't dropped anything on the house, the car or one of us.
But I guess we're going to need to come up with that $2000 to take it down sooner rather than later.
Two grand to remove a tree? Sheesh! Is it too big for Jeff to do? (Sorry for all of my "behind the times" comments. After vacation and the impending move, I haven't had the chance to catch up on your blog in a bit so I'm back tracking to get up to speed.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, if Jeffie did it, it'd cost us about the same since we'd have to rent the equipment. It's so spendy 'cause it's so close to the house and fence on all sides...they'll have to drop it *just* right. We figure if we can't come up with the money right away and it falls on the house in the meantime, insurance will cover it. Nice line of thought, eh? LOL
