Hello everyone. My husband used to post here, before he passed several
years ago. I used to enjoy reading this forum along side of him in the
evenings.

I have a "what would you do" question.

My neighbor has large trees, which overhang our property. During this past
wind storm, several large limbs ended up on my property. I asked him if he
could remove them, so I could cut the lawn. He called me every name in the
book, and told me it's my problem.

I suppose I could hire someone to remove them, but only having a fixed
income, and Arty didn't have life insurance, sure puts a bind on things
around here. I'd move them myself, but at 73, I'm afraid I don't have the
strength to, as it already takes me several days to cut the grass on a city
lot.

What would you do?

Thank you.


Hi,
Sorry about your husband. I hope your neighbor is not that bad other
ways. About a month ago exactly same thing happened to my neighbor from
my tree limbs falling over into their yard hitting their hot tub.

I called my insurance Co. and they sent a crew to clean up the mess and
I had the injured tree cut down. Likewise IMO, your neighbor or their
insurance should take care of the mess. After all it's their tree.

Luckily their hot tub did not suffer any damage, if they did it would've
been my responsibility too. As far as I am concerned, it is common sense
affair.
