Yea, but the prices are so much. I am afraid to do it.

 

It maybe expensive, but which costs more. Having the trees cut down, or the cost to fix/rebuild your house if a tree did come down. Also, the peace of mind knowing you don't have to worry about it every time there's a wind storm. Also, if you've got a fireplace or wood burning stove, you've got a source of firewood.

 

Can also sell the wood

 

I know I hear ya. It's 15 trees we need to have cut down though.

Selling the would is the only option. We removed the wood burning stove to put a bar in the family room.

Priorities.

 

Then I could do all kinds of mods!!!!!!!

 

Have you thought of contacting a logging/lumber company? If the trees are 4 ft in diameter, I'd think they'd be real interested in them. Heck, maybe you could get them to pay you for them. 15 trees though might not be worth their while.

 

if they last thru this, i wouldn't cut shit, this weather is an anomaly, trim em? mebbe but don't cut em.....

 

There are just 15 on the edge of that hill. I have 2.5 acres and 50% is wooded. They can come and take them all. The first year we moved up there from the city I had no idea I could just blow the leaves off into the woods around my property. My neighbors stopped one day and asked if I was crazy. I had filled 116 - 55 gal bags with leaves. I never bagged again.

ALways knew I was a country boy at heart. Grew up a Marine brat so we lived in Little Creek and then on Oahu when I was a kid. So grass and trees were not new to me. Had family that lived down off 301 before Rte 10 existed, when Ritchie Highway was just 4 lanes. The had a outhouse. Hated visiting them.

Grew up in the city from 1972 on. Lived in Virginia Beach myself for a while. Then moved back. Was in the city from 1983' to 2002'. Moved up there because it was that or go to jail for murder living in the city.

 

Just checked Delmarva Power Outages

 

When I reported it the data said over 3600 houses without power up where I live. Guess who's having dinner at the bar tonight? Gunpowder Lodge Here I Come!

 

Y’all are making me jealous with all the talk about living away from the city. I live in a apartment complex where they won’t let you wash your truck in the parking lot...let alone change your oil. Don’t ask me how I know about that last part.

 

Until there's a wind storm, then an apartment is rather nice

 

Dude, every year, those dam leaves drive me nuts!!!!!! I bet there are leaves up there now that blew back outta the woods with this wind. I need to move to a condo.
In Hawaii.

 

At least the trees are just decorative and small. Although I won’t shed a tear if they blow over and the birds lose a perch off of which they defile my clear coat.

 

Trees are the root of all evil!

 

Beer, food, tools, and parts?!?!?! If I can make it that day I'm in.
Get enough guys to do all four corners at once and you'll be done in 40 minutes.

 

In all seriousness, hope all is well with your truck and hope you recover in record time.

 

They’re just big, long lived weeds. Strategically placed they can provide shade or a wind break I suppose. I work in the woods often, so the majesty may be fading where I am concerned with them. That or I just want to chainsaw something.

 

Say hi when you're in the neighborhood! I usually just drive through Blackwater tho...
