    My Air Force neighbor got assigned for 2 years in California. He rented his house out through a property management company (his future ex wife insisted). He had this old dead oak tree come down recently. The property management company sent him a price of $900 to cut up and remove the tree. It was in his back yard so I used a wheelbarrow and it still only took me 40 minutes total to cut and load in my truck. Wood is very rotted and surprisingly light so I will just burn it in my wood boiler but holy moly, what a rip off!! I told him to buy me dinner and a few beers next time he’s in town and we’re even.

    That was a neighborly thing for you to do. I don't know how some folks sleep at night. On their well padded checkbooks, apparently. :rolleyes:
