If a tree falls in the woods......Does it cost 500 dollars to remove it?

My tree guy showed up! He's taking the tree out today! It may take a while to get them to get you an estimate but when you schedule his services he's quick to get here! I don't know whether I'll have electricity due to the proximity of power lines to this tree so I may not be able to use my computer. Or the air conditioner......ARG! I hope they cut fast!

He also questioned the tree next to the one we want removed. He said he wasn't even sure whether it was our tree gauging by the fence line. It would be fantastic if it wasn't my responsibility. It's VERY tall and has caused issues with the power lines before. I guess the only way to find out is to have a survey done. OOO more money! Please, please can I spend more money? IF it's ours it'll have to wait.

Gotta go! Need to do all the things I can that require electricity before I don't have any!

Have a great Wednesday!

Update

The tree is down. It didn't look like it was that big until it was gone. They didn't interrupt my electricity so we are all comfy and cool. I got a price break too. He quoted me 575 yesterday and today when I was writing the check I asked him what the total was. I didn't know if there was gonna be tax or anything and he said 500! I reminded him about the additional limb we had him take off another tree for 75. I couldn't help it I HAD to be honest. I was rewarded with 25 dollars off the quoted price! YAY! He also has given me the name of a good air conditioning repair man and a pest control guy! He said I should call him first when I need a service because they know who's the best. He also told me that the other tree we have thought about removing will cost about 1400.00! That is if I can convince my neighbors to let us shut down their electricity for a couple of hours. Other wise it'll be 2000.00. I think a survey is in order before I drop that sort of money for a tree!

Carry on.
