    Good point about the wires. This is a fairly urban location. I pass that corner every morn going into work. Am I gonna get locked up with buZZsaw BRAD if I go for this?

    OH YES YOU DID! and a nice one too! Go get it! Can you cut it? If you do your new FHC name will be "Road-side Locust"!

    I pass it everyday on my way to work. I can try leaving a note for them to leave the wood. Doubt they will though. Craziest thing is that locust is about 100 yards from a bald eagle nest.. in Camden, NJ. I have been watching what I presume is the same pair of Eagles in that spot for the past several years.

    I’d be tempted to cut around the wires :) Might just kill myself doing it too.
    Looks like a single line going to a house. Ring the doorbell. No bell the power is probably off :)
    Feelin lucky?
