bwahahaha!! ...HBAR, that was funny.. KS63: I had to remove a dead tree due to HOA nosin' in. Cost was a bit over $300 for cutting, stumping, removal of the dead bits. It saved me from having to do the cutting down, cutting up, boxing, cleaning, trashing, stump grinding, dealing with spiders, splinters, dust, etc. What pizzes me off is my HOA doesn't seem to have told anyone else to remove their dead trees....kinda feel picked on here.
