    Perhaps they could not afford to move or didn’t have the means.

    Don’t try to compete with me and my family’s marriage longevity, bitch. You’ll lose

    To gauge whether trees in your yard jeopardize your house, you can make a gauge for that. With a 45 degree speed square, & a spirit level.
    - Rest the speed square on the level.
    - Back up to your house, and sight up the hypotenuse of the speed square.
    - If the treetop is not below your line of sight, that tree is within striking distance of your house.

    If you don't have a 45 degree speed square, & or spirit level, you can fold a 45 degree angle into regular printer paper, and use that.
    There is an easier way than that using just your finger.
    Walk a perpendicular to a line between the tree and your house. You are far enough away when your vertical finger on the outstretched arm is the same height as the tree.
    You can now simply turn your finger horizontal and determine exactly how far the tree is from your house.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    After I got my house, I had a tree company in before I moved in. I still have one tree that could crush the back corner if it fell toward the house, though it has a ok somewhat lean away I need to get taken down. It is a super tall poplar. Originally it was going to be too expensive but my tree guy bought a truck with a 110 foot boom so he won't need to rent equipment. Might get him to take it down this winter. We use that bedroom as the guest room until I get it done. Who cares if they get smooshed.

    Why didn't you pay for their trip or go get them, bleeding heart?

    Don't try to compete with me on me and my family's marriage longevity, bitch. You've already lost.

    Your tears are based on whether the two were black or white. White, no problem with you. Black, you'd find someone or something to blame it on.

    3/4 of black babies being born are bastards. If they're not killing them, they making them dependent on white people.

    "I had a tree company in " K #33
    Sensible.
    I'm a do-it-yourselfer.

    If you've got a crew you can apply tension to a rope between the top of the tree, and a 4WD truck or tractor.
    I usually work alone.

    So do the rope trick with one modification.

    - I attach the rope to a portion of the trunk with about the girth of my wrist or arm.

    - Then I measure off the hypotenuse distance the rope will span, to the ground. Then,

    - half-way up the rope I fix a heavy weight, as much as a few hundred pounds.

    That way the tension remains on the tree until angle and momentum compel it to drop where I want it.

    Just make sure the tractor is out of reach of the fall. I've got some dents in the tractor because of that.

    If you have trouble attaching the rope to the tree, a compound bow set up for fishing might help. I don't have that. So I put a nectarine-sized rock in a rag, and use string to tie it to the rope. It takes some getting used to because the weight of the rope causes the rock to fall short of where it would go without the rope. But give it a mighty heave, and you're there. I then make a simple loop in one end, and draw the other end of the rope through it until it's on the tree where I want it.

    BUT !!

    Then you're committed. You don't get your rope back until you drop the tree.

    I suspect it is easier just to pay my tree guy $400 on his $250 written quote (*wink wink*) to bring it down in sections and then call any of the number of people I know who burn wood and say, "First come, first served" to take care of the rest.

    My brother had a tree fall right in front of his outhouse door. Told him too bad he wasn't in it at the time, because I am pretty sure, "Redneck Rides Out Hurricane Trapped Inside Brick Shit House" would have made him an internet legend.

    "it is easier just to pay my tree guy" K #41
    For onezy twozy for sure.

    My home doesn't have a furnace. I've been here a generation, heat it mostly with wood I cull from my hundreds of acres of forest.

    It's probably cheaper to just buy a furnace.

    But it's exercise, and it keeps the forest a little more tidy, for hunting, camping, etc.

    The worst of it is shoveling the ash out of the woodstove after it's gone. That ash can get over everything.
