I've got a chipper on the way. But there's no way I'm climbing that tree to start cutting. Besides, I'd need a giant chainsaw to cut the trunk up.

I'm just surprised by the cost.

DEI, it's also the wrong time of year to buy a generator.... But since the Atlantic temps are cooler then last year I'm going to hold off until the fall/winter. Intallation prices are stupid high.

Hmm...the sky is bright white in the direction of the storm now...that's weird, it's usually pitch black. Watch out!

And damn there are a ton of frogs out now, 4 got in just as I opened the sliding patio door. Here is a captive one:

I heard scorpions often run to homes for shelter during such storms.

We were supposed to see winds like that as well and it wasn't even close to half as bad as our afternoon thunderstorms. Just tape your house up and you will be fine

That price for the tree isn't bad really. I also have an 80'+ tree that just all of the sudden died a few weeks ago. Luckily it would just barely reach the house with some of the top branches if it does come down.

DAMN!!!!!!! I had about 20 trees removed around our house getting ready to tear down and build anew. BIIIGGG trees. 2 - 36"+ trees that were right next to the house. A couple of them were smaller and dead but we only paid $2000 to have the trees taken down. They hauled most of the tree tops off and then I had someone come in and get the trunks for free (they hauled them away and, I didn't have to pay, and they took them to a lumber yard and sold them, so that's how they made their money)

I would guess half the trees had to be climbed, delimbed and taken down in sections. Some of the others were topped and then were felled by using rope and a truck.

I've used a winch several times to take a tree down and keep it from falling towards the way it was leaning.

I told Kenny to climb his azz up there.

Heck, I'm going to dew it myself and buy me shumptin schweet!

(Can you imagine?....)

It's cloudy and rainy but nothing major yet, I haven't even been keepng up with it. We need the rain tho.

Please let me know when you need 36" trees toppled down for $2K I'll be glad to fly into MS for that task

Can't you rent some of that stuff??

Very true and you could just pay for a climber. They are the ones that really make the money when cutting down the trees. Had four 80'+ trees taken out a couple of years ago the the climber was a contractor for the tree service. Showed up, did his job, got a check and left the rest for them to do.
