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.



Sorry to hear this but if they fall on your property it is normally your
responsibility. Your neighbor is a jerk. I had a similar situation a
couple of years ago and called neighbors to tell them that one of their
trees had fallen on my property because they cannot see it from their
house. They came over and removed it but did not have to.

Homeowners insurance will sometimes take care of. Does not sound like a
big job and if you ask around may find someone to do cheaply. My son
had a tree die is his front yard and both our chain saws were broken but
somebody looking for work saw it, knocked on his door and took it down
for less than $100.
