I'm having them cut at great expense.

Revenge for falling on your car?

About forty. 5k/day with the crane  :P

Basically everything that oculd fall on the house.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

The trees aren't worth anything for lumber?

I didn't ask.

The lumbermill borders our property. The prior owners of this house used to complain about the noise constantly, whereas we've never cared.

The price we're getting is heavily discounted compared to other local crane work.

I hope they've maintained their crane and/or have had it inspected recently. 



I've gotten two estimates for one tree to be tidied up and another to be cut down, stump grinding, two juniper hedges pulled and all debris removed.  One quote was just over $1k the second came in at $800.    :o

It's the only relatively inexpensive service I've ever come across in this state in 20 years.

$5K/day seems stoopit expensive.

I understand that, but here's an example of a 50 ton crane for way less. https://www.steel-giraffe.com/our-rates

A highly unusual event happening this morning:   rain.  :o [thumbsup]


ION:  Coffee is ready.  And so is the job.

Have a great day and I hope the tree guys finish up soon, Dave.  (But you're paying them by the day or the tree?)
