    And a lawyer because you’ll probably end up sued for damages.

    Yep, we get those brain surgeons around here too. Usually manage to leave it alone, but every now & again I'll contact them with a polite "quote" for the tree removal & clean up. Haven't heard back from anyone yet lol. It's yard waste till it's firewood you @#%@#.

    There was a lady on a local FB page. Seemed nice enough but she had this very old, very tall, very big cedar tree wedged right up to her house. Free wood to whoever wanted to cut it down.
    I added that highly valuable video as a comment and was chastised as being mean. Oh well.

    That's pretty good. Woodsnwoods I'm in your neighboring city of Rochester. I remember last year, a guy posted on CL here that he was sick of people advertising "free firewood" when in fact it wasn't ACTUALLY "firewood" because it wasn't split. "IT'S NOT FIREWOOD UNTIL IT'S CUT TO LENGTH, AND SPLIT. SO STOP ADVERTISING FREE FIREWOOD!!!"
