The letter may help with subrogation but they don't really hold up.
It sucks. I don't think you can find anybody associated with insurance that doesn't absolutely loathe trees.
The party is in full swing now. Tree fellers just added another body as a guy with woodchipper showed up. No visual signs of blood splatters on it. Eccentric neighbor is helping them rake branches. Overheard Jason tell one of the guys that eccentric neighbor wants to keep everything over 3" in diameter.
Have no idea why as they don't have a firepit or fireplace. $1700 to take tree out, remove branches, and grind stump from what neighbor told me. Good deal on the neighbor's end. 5 hours in and main section of tree is still standing. I feel for anyone doing this kinda work when it's this warm out. Reminds me of stacking hay bales in the barn during my summers back in the day.
Thx for the pic. Yeah, tight area, power lines nearby. They have to be very careful, piece it out, takes much more time.
Get ready for the "firewood for sale" sign at the end of his driveway
Many services charge a ton to haul away. He probably balked at the additional cost.eccentric neighbor wants to keep everything over 3" in diameter.
Okay I was joking. I actually live on a 160 acre farm. But when I was delivering mail, I ran into a ton of these people.
I would get the lawnchair out and watch him split it all in his backyard.
Yeah, I think it is something like: If you (or an arborist) are cutting down a dead tree on your property, and it falls on your neighbors house, you are responsible. If on the other hand, you leave the dead tree alone, and it later falls on its own, damaging the neighbors house, you are not responsible. The neighbor (or his insurance) has to cover it.
I'm not totally sure on this, but might be close.
Facts. I have a neighbor with a black walnut that grew out over my driveway and roof of my house. I got tired of the debris filling my gutters and not being able to park my car in that area of the driveway for fear of walnuts denting it.
I let them know I was going to have it trimmed back and luckily they knew this stuff already and were perfectly fine with it. That tree is only about 2 feet from the property line so I petty much had them trim it back to the trunk on my side, since I know it's gonna re-grow and need done again.
I'm lucky to have pretty good neighbors in my neighborhood -- everyone is pretty friendly, but also mostly keep to themselves. A perfect combo IMO XD
Why the **** didn't you give me notice and address. What a waste of a PTO day. 
My dad was a laborer for the DM schools. He also had tree business at night and on weekends. I used to pull brush and do grunt work on the ground for him. I used to talk smack to him that I was doing all the work. When I turned 18 he finally told me to put the spikes on because he was done listening to me. After about an hour and a half later and me huffing and puffing. He said, “get out of the tree boy we aren’t making any money with you up there.”
When I bought my first house I needed a tree shaped up next to the house. I asked how much and he said $400. I then asked how much if I helped. He said $800 I’ve seen you work. God I miss him.

Yeah, just make sure he doesn't tell Bubba he can load his pick up from your patio!
