| Trees are great but there comes a day when they become a hazard to life and property so they need to come down. I had a tree in my yard that was half alive and half dead and the root system was rotting away so I needed to have it cut down before it fell down and killed someone or destroyed my house or neighbors garage. |

Sadly, no. There's not a straight foot-long section anywhere in it, plus twisted around the axis. Not to mention rotted.

| Best to do it now before some nor'easter comes blowing in later this year when storm season cranks up. It's been tree season in the neighborhood, age of the homes is just over 30+ years and many of the planted Oaks are rooting under the street, drives, and one neighbors was popping up tiles out of the pool, it came down yesterday, a big sucker like that one. Took out a big oak last year, the root system was spread out so thick we couldn't grow grass, you couldn't put a shovel in the ground without hitting roots. Here's the SIL in his bobcat rolling up the root mess into a ball, one of 4 to 5 that big or bigger from the area. |

Not red, but not entirely sure. I'd guess Sugar Maple, but that's all it is...a guess.

Me too! My homeowner's insurance is already giving me the stink-eye over 2 roofs in 2 years.

"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

Acme Jetpack, courtesy of Wile E. Coyote... ![Big Grin](http://sigforum.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) But seriously folks, a DJI Mini2 SE drone.

| Well, more than I'd hoped, but less than I feared. $3500, his crew will drop it, limb it and chip anything under 4" diameter. Chips are my problem, I'll buck the rest up for firewood and sell it.

| About the same as we paid taking the oak out of the front yard, tree removal isn't cheap... |
