Unrelated gentlemen short on cash but in need of wood. 7 helpers at tree site, then 3 at wood drop off, plus one pick up for one helper and a load of uglies for my furnace.

    Awesome! That's a lotta work. Bet the homeowner is glad it's down, it looked pretty rough.

    Pieced down to maybe 20 ft so everything was below power lines, notched like normal, then hooked chipper winch and pulled over parallel to street.

    A government notice to take down a dead tree? New one is o me, but understandable.
    That was an unexpected bill, that so many Americans aren’t in a position to pay for. I suspect that would have been edging the two thousand dollars mark with a tree service in that area.
    What a great service. I am sure the emotional pressure taken off the mother was tremendous.
