Yeah, township apparently can issue citation for trees that endanger road and power/phone lines. Then you have so many days to remove or they will remove and bill you. We had a total of 26 man hours in it excluding stacking at wood recipients house. Though we did split it all also which we wouldn’t normally do. Guessing 2 k is what I would have bid it at for just straight removal. Funny, township drive by while we were taking it down and stopped to say hi. Ride around to find trees that need removed, good retirement job??????
Funny how it works sometimes. My BIL has put the city officials on notice where he lives (he was on the city board at the time) about a dead tree along the roadside of their property. Pretty much chastised him and told him it's not the city's problem. He told them that it will be the citiy's problem when it comes down and damages or injures someone.....
Great job, Greg . Wonderful to have your church members help out. We have done something similar a few times too.
Agreed. Maybe different places have different rules but where I come from that’s town property, town tree, towns responsibility. If they want to widen the road you’ll see how fast the tune changes
That's REALLY NEAT!! Plus, the Lord smiled upon you guys and gave you a nice day to do it on. I've seen the weather in Penn hasn't been all that dry lately, so, it worked out great. Great job!!!
Good job ! Looks like a well run production setup ! By me that would be a township tree, I'd personally check into it deeper, would be awesome to hand the town a invoice.
That's walking the walk and talking the talk. Being the great fortune teller that I am, I see good things coming back to you, the lady who gave the tree, and your crew for your selfless gift.
This was a couple years ago. The fellow ( Mr.Bobby) sitting on the tree runs an after school and weekend program for at risk kids in our small town. He has had several become college grads and one young man is in the Navy. He wanted the wood to go to someone who had a need. We found an elderly lady who burned wood, got some of our mission team from church and Mr Bobby got some of his kids to come on a couple Saturdays to help. They worked hard, learned how to use the splitter. I have learned when you give of yourself, GOD pays you back more.
ummm..errrr.....ya got quite a fancy schmancy chair for the splitter there, no? It has been shown on here for years that the proper chair consists of nothing more than a milk crate and a cushion! Backwoods Savage go easy on him!
Backwoods Savage certainly earned his moniker today. Imagine sitting on an old milk crate! My spellcheck even changed Backwoods to Backwards. Hmm. LOL
That's the executive model......we have the base model too. Both of these chairs were headed to the dumpster from our office around work. Bad wheel and worn upholstery..
