We still have a while to go before the house site prep begins, but we had one thing we could do, cut down a tree! One side of this tree needed severe trimming so the power line could come through, and the other side needed major trimming so the house can come in beside it. Rather than just trimming, we decided to just have it cut down. As it’s a very large tree and, if it were to go over the wrong direction, it would take out live power lines, so we decided to hire it done. And, while the trimmer was here, we had two other small projects to trim.
As with everything else, it took us a while to find a trimmer who would show up. The first guy said, “I’ll be there Thursday or Friday.” When he didn’t show up, Richard left a message on Monday and, he never replied. So, then we asked neighbors, and we found out one neighbor had a tree guy coming on Monday to look over some tree work he needed done. We asked our friend to send the tree guy our way.
Not only did he SHOW UP on Monday, he came over to our house and gave us a reasonable quote. He called us Tuesday morning to say he’d be there on Wednesday to cut the trees . . . and he DID!!
