• Fallen trees

    From frank@"frank "@frank.net to alt.home.repair on Tue Feb 24 14:36:55 2026

    Blizzard took down neighbor's tree close to border in his back yard into
    my yard. Figured I would have to pay for removal but they called and
    said they were taking care of it.

    Same thing happened a couple of years ago when one of my trees fell into
    their yard and I paid for it. The tree actually spanned his driveway
    and he and his BIL cut that part before I could get a tree cutter in.

    Good neighbors are like that as otherwise if it is in your yard it is
    your responsibility unless you can show it should have been removed as
    it endangered your property or house. One of my BIL's had insurance pay
    for tree removal that endangered neighbor's garage.

    Just brought it up here as an interesting situation.

    Around 40 years ago one of my neighbor's trees fell on my house in a
    storm ... he had been warned numerous times that it needed attention or
    this was going to happen . And he blew me and everybody else that warned
    him off .
    My insurance took care of the damage and paid the going rate for
    removal , which I did myself . Then they went after him and his
    insurance since it was obviously preventable . Next thing ya know
    there's a 6 foot chain link fence and we ain't friends no more .

    Glad I removed all my trees about 15 years ago.

    No more raking leaves, cleaning gutters and picking up sticks and dead branches before I mow.

    Trees are a major PITA.

    so much for Robert Frost's famous line from his poem, Mending Wall. The
    line, "good fences make good neighbors". I guess your neighbor misread
    the poem. You must live in a very stable neighborhood. Forty years

    I don't know if that asshole till lives there ... we moved from that neighborhood in 1987 and have never looked back . We don't even live in Memfrica any more , though we still own property there . The neighbors
    here in The Holler are some of the best people I've ever lived near ...

    You are lucky. Just pray it stays that way - or at least until you leave town.

    Crew removed the tree this morning. It had come down Sunday night and
    removed Wednesday morning, today. Surprised they did it so fast.

    We do have good neighbors. One came over a couple of weeks ago to plow
    the snow off my driveway as I was bringing out my snow thrower and
    another called Monday and said he could do it but I had already finished
    it. Then another cut down a small felled Dogwood on my front lawn.

    I don't live in town ... 10 miles from town of around 3,000 . In a
    clearing out in the woods . There are 12 families down here in The
    Holler , we all help each other when there is a need . We're all middle
    age or older , mostly retired , and all lean conservative in our
    politics except one couple . They're our barometer of what the libs are
    up to .
