That's an awesome neighbor using his brain and getting his camera. It really helped out the homeowner whose truck was damaged.
Him laughing during the video is the highlight, lol.
You know the tree clowns would deny it was them if it wasn't on video .
The other neighbor who ordered that beautiful oak cut down has no brain. Now he'll have to get an air conditioner and pay for high electricity usage.
"Tree service" aka "some guy with a chain saw"
Hey hey, careful there. He also had a rope!
@ Mark Wheeler....the business card showed that they also do paving ! Which means after they destroy the customers and neighbors driveways they can offer a special deal to clean it up
@@rippspeck Yeah but they had to borrow it from a neighbor LOL
Nah, his stepdad bought it for him, hoping he would have an accident.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH I GOT A CHAINSAW! Lets get'r done!
The guy taking the video and giggling is a hero
Bryant Moop how do you not buck a tree that size, that close, before felling?!
I think 2 - 8 yr old kids would see that tree way too big to come down whole. Just lazy untrained tree service workers.
Another person who believes that "training" is the cure-all to all ills.
For example, police officers get a *lot* of training and yet they still walk unannounced onto a property and kill the innocent property owner or other person they surprise on the property.
geoh7777 .nothing to do with felling a tree. whats your point other than letting everyone know you hate cops
Tarn Sand training can't fix stupidity if they were dumb enough to think that was a good idea training isn't going to help them
years ago, when I owned my house, my neighbour next door had a tree in his backyard cut down. It was feet from my garage. The company DROVE their truck up my drive, HIT my garage, were climbing on top of my garage, dropped branches on it, all before I found out. They offered me $100 for my damages. The police were called, charges included tresspassing, and damaging private property. My lawyer got me a lot more than $100, that's for sure. then they got a bill for cleanup for all the branches they left on my garage. LOL
"My lawyer got me a lot more than $100, that's for sure." So, how much?
@@stangomango8393 few thousand.

Hot damn
I have told companies like that to move.
I pulled up my driveway, went in the house and when I came back out there was a company vehicle for a gas line parked in my driveway. He wasn't in his vehicle and way off down the road. I told him to move because he was blocking other vehicles from pulling up as we're a house full of people.
It was perfect timing too, cause not even 5 minutes after I told him to move a family member was pulling up the driveway.
I've been a tree trimmer for 35 years and I'm glad you went after that company. You don't encroach on a neighbor's property without permission. That being said, accidents do happen and mistakes are made. That's when the company does everything in its power to make things right. That's how we handle things where I work.
NEVER EVER EVER take down a tree this way. Even forest Loggers in the forest do not do this unless they KNOW where it's going to fall. This company was BLATANTLY at fault for the damages for the homeowner. I am NOT surprised to hear the company has an 'F' rating. I sure hope he's no longer in business!
It felt right where they wanted it except the truck was in the way
@@wildlifewarrior2670 proving they failed completely to do the one and only thing they do - to safely down trees. With a tree that large, you take off the top limbs before you drop the trunk - normally with a few cables and pulleys so you can gently lower the limbs to the ground. The trunk comes down only when they can confirm it will ALL drop in the safe zone. This was a complete failure on all levels.
@@chouseification yes I do tree work
Chouseification you’re wrong. It takes way to long to climb these trees and time is money honey. It looks like the did everything right just this dummy parked his truck in the way. No wonder they don’t want to pay him.
@@chadmarino2741 He was parked in his own driveway. No competent tree service would ever do this.
the gentleman whose truck was damaged, is about 50 times more calm about the situation than i would be!!!

Yea, I was just gonna say. It's just a truck. All materialistic possessions can be replaced usually with new better options. OP must be young.
@@BloodlessJG technically money does come from trees in this video
Insurance will pay for it
I have seen pro's drop large trees many times. Every time they climb up, cutting the limbs as they go, then cut chunks on the way down. On sensitive terrain, they might lower pieces by rope. Actual trimmers with brains would not fell a large tree in a residential neighborhood.
if it was a pine it would have been differemt
Pine, Smrine, the technic is the same. Chestnut, maple, banana tree. It's done the same way. DON'T fell a large tree in a congested area.
That puts the ooo into stooopid.
Worked for a tree service company and thats how it went down... only time it was cut whole was if there was no danger of it falling on something.
I've had Mulberry, Pine, Oak, and Gum cut down in my yard, and they were all done the same way - a small bit at a time. They work their way up removing the limbs, then work their way down removing sections of the trunk no more than 4 feet long. The video demonstrates that the business in question is far too incompetent to be cutting trees down and the owner should be banned from having a business license.
Agreed I worked for tree service. They are so stupid. Start from top and chop it from there to bottom.
What a nice gentleman. Thank God the neighbor caught it on video.
the main reason why this hasn't been settled by the time this video was posted is because the people who cut down the tree are not professionals by any means. a real professional would have taken a tree down of that size in pieces just so this wouldn't happen.
The best way is to wire it up with explosives and blast it out.
Seth Tucker Hillbilly says what?
He certainly does after removing a few trees.
It's common sense even if you are not a professional to cut the tree down in stages
Your one hundred percent right. They maybe thought it'd some how be quicker even though it wouldn't be

Unless the tree is rotting I always hate to see a gorgeous old tree like that being removed.. go down any Tree Line Street and it always looks much more beautiful than streets that don't have tall Lush trees
I'm in a similar situation right now. My neighbor had a two hundred year old pine tree cut down. The middle third fell and landed on my fence. I was told the fence would be repaired in four days. Three months later, the did a shabby job with a promise to finish when the ground thawed. They decided to ignore me instead. I recently talked to a lawyer to take them to court, the ball is now in my court!
Never let them self repair. They will cut corners. Hire your own and send the bill so it hits them in their pockets.
Good for you! I agree! Back in 2009, I had an alley tree that needed a trim. I hired a company that pulled something very similar. They came and butchered the tree. And, I'm not talking butchered, they BUTCHERED my alley tree. It had to be cut down. Not only that but they even were careless. Tree limbs dislodged the gas main from the meter. And, then they promised to replace the tree. Three months later, no tree and the company took my money and told me to have a nice day instead. Yeah! I had a nice day alright! I had a nice day in court! I talked to an attorney. And, sued the fire out that tree company. I even put them on the 10 o clock news and Facebook. That tree company no longer exists. I looked them up. They went out of business.
Take them to court! Civil matter.
Good money after bad...A waste of time and money, and you'll have to pay a lawyer about 5 grand just to start the case...The dude's truck hardly got anything...Let the insurance companies work it out...Even if you win a judgement, they can appeal it and now you have another time in court...you have to do a writ of execution, pay servers of the documents etc, ...The old guy is just a fuckin nudge...The tree company is an idiot...
Actually no it is not a civil matter because the homeowner did not hire the tree company.
You are correct about the process. Most people think if they file suit and win, they will become whole. Not even close. Even a small claims case can drag on & on & on.

What???????
Damaged truck owners insurance co more than likely will go after the company that caused the damage. They have lawyers at their disposal.
Here, on the California coast, we had an elm tree removed from our front yard. It grew too big. The tree company took it out piece by piece and put it into the wood chipper at the curb and hauled it away. Then they used their stump grinder to take out the stump and roots. Some people are competent and some people are simply inept. It's much the same in every industry: car repair, plumbing, medicine, and especially politics.
You get what you pay for.
@@consciousobjector2507 I've had the reverse experience. You pay for what you get
@@nemo227 that's another way of a saying the same thing! We've had massive oaks removed that were at the end of their lives and they removed them just as yours were.
And it cost.
Stop cutting trees!
@@ivanrodriguez268 no.
I had a large tree (that had died) cut down in my front yard. They started at the top and cut away branches on the way down. Then they sectioned the trunk in the same way . This is an example of someone who doesn't know their *ss from a hole in the ground.
yes you cut it down in sections i used to work tree service it takes longer but this is what happens when you do it the other way lol.
That's a huge BEAUTIFUL tree, why was it cut down? It looked very healthy.
trees can be rotting from the inside and look very healthy and if a storm comes along it can end up on your house...or truck lol
The root system might be impeding on the home owners foundation.
@@takeiteasy2530 Yup. We had a neighbor with an absolutely stunning and massive weeping willow tree. It had been struck by lightning over a decade earlier and had been dying and rotting from the inside out while still appearing healthy. One big storm it split in 2. Thankfully the half that fell missed anything important. It was shocking how little trunk material was left holding up the rest of it, which was promptly removed.
The stump didn't have any rot and the Oak was healthy. The 3 commentators above deserve their house or tent to be in the hot desert sun.
I put them on the 'Idiots NOT to hire' list when the lady said the company had a truck parked in HIS driveway.
Good Grief.
Since when, btw, does anyone with a smidgen of experience cut a tree like that down whole in a 'target rich environment' like a residential neighborhood ?
Love your work, cameraman !
Homes in New Orleans are very close together. I had an arborist come to take down part of a very large tree. It was magical! When tree people really know what they are doing it is something to see. Not only was no damage left behind, but it was almost totally silent. I saw the weighing truck - they had removed over 4,000 pounds of tree! Hire the best - it is worth it!
They should be put out of business, never seen someone so dumb cut down the whole tree without trimming all branches and cutting it in segments
they're well on their way with an F better business bureau rating. Good lord.
That’s a shame, that tree has seen a lot, what a beautiful tree
It was a stupid decision by a stupid homeowner. A 50 year old Oak tree in your front yard is a benefit, not a detriment. The gentleman with the damaged truck should sue his idiot neighbor
The Roots will probably growing into their Foundation destroying their house
@Tomasino Romano but you live in a house made of wood
@@kirbygene you don't know why he had the tree cut down. Most of the time someone would need to remove a tree like this is because it could be unhealthy, or the root system could be ruining the foundation of his house.

once the trees down...they are pros.
prior to that?.....not so much.
They're "Experts at removing trees" . . . just not experts at removing them without destroying everything around them.
But they are HQ'ed in the Sahara. Business has been a little slow.

Beautiful tree, looks healthy. why in the world would you cut that down?

This coming from someone who has no clue what large trees do to properties...
I like the neighbor that has the foresight of what is about to happen and bust out the video camera to catch this slow wreck and laughs afterwards.
Super glad the news team has addressed this problem for that homeowner, what a crappy way to end your vacation.
Having felled a number of large trees I know better than to try a tree that size in one piece not in the woods. Just too many risks of failure. Had that gone another way it would have smashed a house not a truck
Nah, they dropped it the only way to not hit anything; They just "under measured"...LOL!
That was a beautiful tree. If it didnt have some sort of pests or anything wrong, shoulda just left it. Now your empty yard is setup to house a bunch of lawn flamingos and gnomes.
so they had a cable tied to tree ,from truck . And pulled tree right on top of trucks? One glimpse you can see there is NOT enough room for the tree to fall cleanly. What was they thinking??
5153flash Thinking requires a brain...
lol. I agree,,but it amazes me that people are really out doing this type thing. It has to be the money that makes people do dumb chit. If you asked 20 people if this was a good idea. not 1 person of that 20 would say yes. But if you offered $1000 to cut it down,,just maybe 1 person would give it a whirl. And here we are.
Well the proper way is guid line and taking limb by limb then topping it. One thats done, they can cut the trunk. Looks like the bind leadin the bind to bag more money quicker then do a proper job.
5153flash with the proper setup (cable, winch & snatchblock) there's really no need to limb it first. Top it, then limb it once it's on the ground. Then notch & wedge trunk to fall where you want it.
Fly by night org. Cheap turns out expensive. And that neighbor is a tool.
It's a sad shame that beautiful tree is gone.
Same here. Some people are just tree butchers.
@@Working_Man Some people don't want those huge dead oak limbs falling on their house. Oaks shed limbs . Tree are also the worst thing to have around your house. They don't allow things to dry out and the next thing you know , your roof, window frames . is rooting off the house at the very least, they kill off your grass .

Point being, the other party has a STRONG vested interest in keeping the whole thing schtum. You can leverage this fact to get more than market value out of him. (And if you're the sort who fixes his own stuff, you can pocket the labor. Try doing THAT with the insurance co!)
I've been lightly hit in my beat-up work truck a few times. Both times, it was additional superficial damage to an already-bent bumper. In both cases, I took ~$100, and just put a little rattle-can over the scuff marks, and "kept on keepin' on." Good for me; good for the other guy.
I would let tree keep growing if in my yard. Got 125 yo oak tree in my front yard now. Great shade tree in summer.
How did she keep a straight face when she said “will get to the ROOT of the problem” I’m over here dying of laughter corniest pun of the year
Who tf cuts down a monster tree like that while it’s alive anyways? And in one piece? Even I know that crazy...it goes in pieces...breaks my heart in pieces too.
Even a live tree can be diseased and/or infested with bugs that are weakening it from the inside. In that case, better to cut it down before it falls on your house or across the road, where you are responsible and liable for damage it causes. A sad state of affairs in any case-it's a gorgeous tree.
Should be covered under comprehensive insurance on the truck. Turn it in, get it fixed. Let the insurance company go after the tree company.
Then the guy's own insurance rates go up.
That is not acceptable.
If the tree service doesn't have liability then they are violating their license, every contractor's license I've ever seen requires proof of liability insurance.
I've had 3 comp claims and never saw a rate increase. State Farm.
You still have to pay your deductible.
Rates won't go up and the deductible will be reimbursed after the insurance company subrogates and gets paid back. May take time but the vehicle gets fixed.
not everyone carries comprehensive coverage
There is so much wrong with this and it was so avoidable. How anyone has a business when they have absolutely no clue what theyre doing is beyond me

Its good until you have to deal with the branches that grow into the roof.
In the UK, Tree Surgeons remove the branches/limbs, then work their way down from the top, cutting piece by piece. These people didn't know what they were doing. Especially in a residential area!
a good tree service company would cut the limbs off first
And top it out.
Man its sucks soooo much. He sounds like such a nice guy. Man that was the most stupidest shit ive ever seen
Ikr, who the fuck does that?
Why is the tree company s truck in Jims driveway WITH OUT PERMISION?
It's stupid to cut down such a big, beautiful oak anyhow.
not if its a danger to a close property or pathway or road, or interfering with drains or footings. Have you seen what just one dead fall branch can do? Besides if its on private property whatbusinessis it of yours?
@@GOLDSMITHEXILE Jesus fucking christ, idiots! Enough with the fear-monering about trees!
@@Jemalacane0 no you are the idiot. Theres no need to be offensive and use profanity just because you have no decent valid argument. WHY do modern building regulations demand deep footings in proximity to existing trees or hedges? Have you seen what tree roots can do to drains especially old clay ones. There was a reason for felling it, even if the task itself wasnt done professionally. And as I said before, what business is it of yours mate?? It wasnt your tree.
The tree huggers in london and other british cities get up their vigialante groups to protect trees ANY trees even if they are rotting and falling apart.Then they moan and cry when a storm comes and all that dead wood comes crashing down, tearing up pavements, destroying cars and sometimes killing people in the process.
Yea I do tree work and water oaks are a termites favored tree, they are notorious for splitting and dropping limbs big enough to kill you. I took one off a Mercedes that smashed the roof in before
GOLDSMITHEXILE 2016 ok what a argument if ur excusing the population of London and English cities for being tree huggers. You supported that with no evidence. Therefore neither is your argument valid.
That poor man was more then understanding! Didn’t try to sue them for all they had just wanted his poor little truck fixed!
Its always a shame when heathy trees are cut down !!
Agree! That's the one thing not being discussed in that report. Who would want to remove a 50 year old Oak tree? It wasn't threatening the roof of the house and provided great shade in the yard
I feel bad for the poor tree.
The tree looks healthy so I dont know why they'd cut it (it could be rotting on the inside and im wrong) but also you cut it piece by piece not all at one when theres so many houses around.
Talk to your neighbor..
Ultimately it's his problem.
It was his tree..
Then he can sue the company he hired..
I am an amateur logger, but even I know that anytime a tree is in a confined area, you must first lop off the top side branches. I could not do that because a "cherry picker" is needed. Then the main trunk must be notched on the side of the tree where you want it to fall. Make the felling cut on the opposite side and follow behind the chain blade with a steel wedge as the cut deepens, and have someone keep tapping the wedge carefully as the saw cuts into the wood so that there are no mistakes. If there is any error developing, add a second wedge to redirect the fall slightly. I absolutely would never attempt this cut though because, without professional equipment, you can never be 100% correct. I have not missed yet, but my confined tree-cutting days are over.
I have never cut a tree of that size down in my entire life and yet, nobody had to tell me to NOT do it that way. Who are these people? Is common sense really in such short supply?
Technically leaving the scene of an accident involving a motor vehicle !
Shattered Dreams I’m pretty sure they were just trying to make a joke my dude lol
The name should have been the first clue tree service and Paving sounds like they're experts all right.
No, SUEME TREE SERVICE
Fly-by-night. Home before dawn.
I'm not a trained arborist, but when I had to take down 2 similar sized trees on my property, I took them down in several stages starting at the top and working my way down. I dropped the main trunk within a foot of where I wanted it to drop and kept all the wood (cherry) for myself. It was sad to take them down, but the roots were undermining the footings of the rear of my home.
And they parked in Jim's driveway too ? Well now it's Oct. 2017. I wonder if those idiots are still in business. You need a crane of some sort and / or climbers in the tree to properly and safely bring something that size down.
Lots of problems here with cutting down a large front yard tree at the base in a residential neighborhood. The tree can block the street which is unlawful in most localities unless they have prior permission to do so. The tree can rip out power lines, taking out electricity for a large amount of the neighborhood. The worst that can happen is a pedestrian loses their life if the crash landing area isn't sufficiently coned off.
In the 80s, my hillbilly father-in-law took a $250 side job he didn't need. (My cut for a whole days work was $10 btw, so he was cheap and stupid.) He was to remove about a 100' oak from a trailer park. He dropped it on a vintage Dodge Challenger, having disregarded my advice. (I'm from Michigan's U.P. and have cut a million trees.)

Good thing it was the 80's and a vintage challenger wasn't worth spit.

Did he ever get his truck fixed? Viewing here in 2019
More like 2020
Looks like, by the time he gets his struck fixed, that tree will grow back!
I love the guy taking the video's maniacal laughter
that tree service should just close its doors, i wouldnt have tried to bring it down in one shot.
Dropping a tree this size can also damage underground utilities. Sewer/septic and water drainage could take years to reveal the damage and cost thousands. Good luck getting a tree company to cover the cost that long after the fact.
also why were they parked in his driveway?
They just needed something to aim for!!!
trespassing! also they damaged his lawn real bad too.
It's like my family had a tree cut down on our property by a company once. Than when we called them w year later or so to get another tree cut down we couldn't get in contact with them. We than found out by someone they knew that the company went bankrupt because they *accidentally* dropped a tree on a house.
More like "Show Me a Lawsuit". My god, a tree that size in one piece, the hell were they thinking?!
The guy recording laughing... "PRICELESS!"
"Show me tree service" It looks like they showed em! LMFAO 😂
In my neighborhood, a permit is needed and the tree company has to get signed permission from neighbors before they can even start. The company’s that I’ve seen always start at the top and work their way down. Instead of just letting 40 ft and thousands of pounds of wood just fall all at once.
Ray Charles could have seen where that tree was going, damn!!!!!!
Ray, Stevie and Ronnie Milsap could have teamed up and done better.
If they told Ray Charles what they were going to do, he would say, "What you say?".
And, he's dead!
@Brisdad53 but its true.
Well, it was going to go into the house, the driveway next door, or out into the street. Being that they took the whole tree down at one time, I'm pretty sure they never really gave it any thought.
I'm sure they had their reasons, was it diseased...but a 50 yr old oak that looked in a good spot, not disturbing the house that i can see, not to mention the beautiful shade they are going to be without. What a shame. It hurts me to see a good tree cut down. Trees are so precious... and beautiful.
That's a toxic neighbor who just moved in and had that beautiful oak tree cut down. He did it when his neighbor was away. (Only my impression--I don't know for sure).
Sue them for more than what the truck is worth. Get a brand new truck and some emotional damages for them hanging you out to dry as well as the stresses you are incurring from trying to reach out to them.
Echo 9970 you always have to sue for more so you can receive a fair settlement. My truck is my baby with 0 issues to the condition. A little Bondo and some overstay would not be acceptable. If I were to file claim with my insurance, my rates will go up. Why should I pay more because someone else damages my property and refuses responsibility?
+Echo 9970 im a yank and im suing you,limey, for your libious statement
@echo you have never been in any situation like this so you should shut up. we paid a roofer to roof a rental house and they kept saying they would be here on this day to do it. had to take several personal days off to watch them do the job they said they would do multiple times. they never showed any of the times they said they would. finally after months of this BS demanded my money back. they finally paid back the money on the 6th time they agreed to meet me. only took 5 months, many phone calls, threats from the attorney general and a warrant for his arrest.
@echo you said he only deserved to get his truck fixed and that's it. my point was the guy spending his personal time, making phone calls, jumping through hoops, etc. deserves a lot more than just getting his truck fixed. coming home from work only to spend a couple hours each night making phone calls, emails, etc. to try to get things resolved is like having a part time job you are not getting paid for on something that should have been resolved in the first place. not to mention you might have to take some personal days to fix things and that is lost income right there.
Are you from california?
Omg 😳 why would they want to cut down a big beautiful tree like that that’s a crime of itself !!!

I'm completely stumped about what you're referring to.
Timber was out of whack that day!
Why am I here
I was hoping the story would branch out.
I used to be in the tree business, and no way would I EVER consider dropping that whole tree in any direction from where it was. Too lazy or just don't know how to do the job right. Good thing it was their own truck that got hit hardest.
It looked like a beautiful and perfectly healthy tree. Why the hell would you even consider cutting down a wonderful tree that took 50 years to grow? The homeowner's an asshole and so are the tree service guys.
oaks suck
any real man wants a concrete front yard for his fast and furious hotrods
a well, you're half right. That is, about the tree cutters ( The Three Stooges?). As for the owner, It's his property, ergo It's his tree. He has a right to eliminate it if he wants.

IKR,,,Hey, if you're not killing a tree, it will be killing you! They're evil I tells ya...EEEEEEVVVVIIIIILLLL!!!!
I've never seen a tree in a residential area cut down in one piece like that. It's always done piece by piece, and that usually makes it a day-long task.
Perfect example of why you never hire the company with the lowest bid.
Here's a question. How much damage was done to foundations from the force of a tree that size hitting the ground?
More in likely none
We had a big tree recently removed in neighbors yard but the company used bucket trucks to trim off branches first before the trunk was taken down.
Hell they was parked in his driveway park on my driveway I would cut your tires than call to have it towed away at their cost !!
Remove the valve stems, same end result satisfaction, safer for you, and less chance of you getting in trouble even though they are technically trespassing
My question is , obviously they went to size up the job and give a price for dropping the tree, didn,t they think it was kind of odd the guy they were dealing with lived in a different property. alarm bells would have had me asking neighbours if it was his tree he wanted us cutting down. OAK TREES are valuable loss of tree, damage , illegal trespass, claim $100,000.
I have seen amateurs cut down trees better than these so called pros.
Gorgeous healthy looking tree Why take it down? And who fells a large tree like that in a residential area. That's why you have climbers and ropes.
Why would they even cut that tree down anyway? It looked healthy.

You'd have to ask the neighbor who owned the tree. He's the one who hired the company to cut it down.
Captain Obvious lol. Thank you, Captain Obvious. What would we do? ;)

No need to thank me citizen. I'm just doing my job.
Captain Obvious xoxo 💋
I was thinking the same... and the property looked so much worse without it lol
He finds the note and it just says "Oops" 😆
I'm just tryna figure out why they would remove such a beautiful tree in the first place...
Roots can screw up the driveway or foundation of the house.
Father had been a logger/tree trimmer and landscaper his entire life, definitely wouldn't have tried to bring that down in one piece, he would've climbed it like a real tree trimmer and topped it then brought it down piece by piece in 4-10ft increments. He had been working on 100-200ft trees his entire life, was on a job with him the last time where it would literally take 10 people with their arms outstretched to get around the trunk it made the rest of the trees around it look dwarfed for miles, was literally 15 ft from the front step of this guys house and probably would've pancaked it with ease not to mention how much damage roots can do to the foundation of a home.
our apartments just cut a huge tree down behind my apartment and they cut bigger limbs off first and then larger limbs with guide lines off then cut the tree top to bottom chunks at a time. none of the 3 buildings surrounding the tree was damaged.
My brother is a welder that has done tree work on the side for years, he can get a tree to fall wherever he wants it to, and he would never have done a tree that size in one piece, probably 2, or 3 pieces.
Finally a camera man that does his job and RECORDS
It’s dummies like that who cause so many people to be afraid to hire guys like me who have never had to make an insurance claim in 28 years.
If this took place within the universe of the Bethesda franchise, Fallout (Decades before the great war.) This tree removal company would have been considered the best of the best. Because they always get the job done. Despite how much private property they damage in the process.
When they adjust their TV antennas, They simply pick up the whole trailer and turn it.
In 2005, I came home to find a tree removal company had cut down a huge pine tree near my property line, which took out my front steps...and they just left it like that...not a note, a phone number, nothing.
Boy, Frank Wright was just a-laughing & laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of this unfolding scenario…! His funny bone reaction is very infectious… I just laughed & laughed alongside him..
It could be WORSE - While helping my Sister's neighbor with a move, I watched my Sister's neighbor try to successfully pull down a similar height tree, using a single rope tied that was barely longer than the height of the tree, and tied to a jeep. The tree fell down OK, right on their other neighbor's main POWER Connection. I watched as the tree fell and proceeded to cause huge sparks. Fortunately for everyone, the house did NOT catch FIRE!
Also - when you use a guide rope attached to the tree, you definitely should NOT hold the rope standing next to a truck that should have been moved in the first place!
Hurrcaine Irma cracked our 80 foot live oak down the middle ( didn't fall but it had to go) and it took them a week to take it down, considering how a good chunk was over my house and the other side was tangled in the neighbors live oak. Only damage done was potholes in the yard and a bush/tree thing that got mildly flattened (it's still alive just weird looking)
A few months ago, we had to cut down a big guanacaste tree (hardwood, excellent slabs for tables and the like, also called elephant's ear tree) because the roots could no longer support it and the houses and people nearby were at risk. Guy we hired tied limbs before cutting them and then lowered them, it was very cool to watch him work.
When I had an ash cut down in my back yard they secured it with ropes and bucket trucks and cut off most of the limbs before carefully lowering it to the ground to be cut up piece by piece. Why would they fell a tree of that size in a residential area?
0:24 "get to the root of the problem" omg im stumped
We had a guy drop a tree on a fence, which I figured was a fluke event. He said he would do more tree work to make up for it. So he dropped a tree on top of a 71 Mustang, and left without saying anything. Didn't cut it up, or anything.
