Normally I don't mind trees, I even like them most of the time. These days I hate them. There are two very large trees on our property. One of which already had a branch break off and fall through the roof. Hence the large green tarp on the roof and the hole in the dining room ceiling. Neither of these trees have been maintained for a very long time. We have had several people come out and look at these trees. The first one told us that the tree in the rear of the house is diseased and dying and they would recommend taking it out. They said the one in the front isn't as bad but they would probably end up taking it out in a few years anyway. The second person said the one in the back is fine, it just needs to be trimmed, but the one in the front had been struck by lightning and needs to come out. I even had one guy come out and say They're both fine but he'd take them both out for $7000.00! I'm not sure how my husband managed to not laugh in that guy's face. We still haven't made a definite decision but we're leaning towards taking out the tree in the back and trimming up the one in the front. The tree in the back hands over three different sets of power lines and well over the roof. Frankly, with summer and storm season coming It scares the sh!t out of me! Home owners insurance will look for any reason not to cover a falling tree!
