Just had 3 trees fall on my house and smash in part of my roof...what's my next step?
quote:
I need to show this to about a dozen people in the neighborhood.
all of them have 80 y.o. oaks, walnuts and maples towering over their homes.

not one of them has trimmed or maintained them in the least.

these trees ar 75-95 feet tall, and 20 feet from the homes


That's why I took down several large oak trees, all at least 80 y.o. oaks, and all less than 20 feet from the house.

All 3 were beautiful trees, but one was found to be hollow at the core, near the base. It would have fallen on the house if I didn't take it down first.






"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

"The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth."

neighbors around me lost a few, but we were spared (at least as far as I could see into the back yard early this morning)





I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Thanks Matt. I use Farmers


I'm knee deep in work and water myself after the surge came through here in Charleston. I'll check in later tonight with some advice.
