It was actually quite easy, even with my limited knowledge of construction. I am just thankful that I had the <a href="http://www.i80equipment.com" rel="nofollow">bucket truck</a> handy because my pick up couldn’t cut it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-62430351065668910862009-05-17T19:35:00.000-06:002009-05-17T19:35:00.000-06:00I hate it that you're losing a tree.

I didn't wait for them to fall but climbed every tree in the city. We use to throw the maces at each other and later have chestnut fights. It would have stunk having one in the yard though as it would have been my job. I can't imagine parking my car under there in the fall.

Lining a long driveway is not an ideal location. The spikey husks that fall away from the nut are hell on dogs feet, bare human feet and children's feel, then there is the body work on the roofs of the cars, which is a waste of time and money as long as the tress still stand. And they tall bloom stalks and so full of pollen that everyone with allergies is now in agony. And even the pollen is a problem for the cars since as it drifts down it sticks to the cars creating a gummy surface that is very hard to get off. The flowers are fragrant and I love the smell, but the rest of the time they are a problem.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-60967298563753933462009-05-16T18:11:00.000-06:002009-05-16T18:11:00.000-06:00Love chestnut trees, too bad you can't eat those t...Love chestnut trees, too bad you can't eat those things. Maybe your neighbor wants to get in on a deal.

I'm hoping to make a deal with someone who really needs the money and will see me as an advertisement for them in the neighborhood. I have a neighbor next door who has a row of giant Chestnut trees. When the chestnuts start dropping they dent the roofs of the cars parked in my front driveway and in their driveway. In late Spring the drift of Chestnut blossom petals is like flesh colored snow.<br /><br />YDG, I'm still laughing about the latest email you sent me. It's the drunk guy whose wife supper-glued his flip-flops to the floor. <br /><br />Beach this beach bum life you're dreaming of is within sight. I can feel it, smell it, see your old pickup truck, your fishing pole, maybe an old dog to ride in the back of the truck who'll walk the beach with you.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-83136347393243245972009-05-16T14:54:00.000-06:002009-05-16T14:54:00.000-06:00Yeah, I know the feeling.

And it will take a professional since they are so large and close to the house.<br /><br />As I have written before lawn care and me just are not a match. Watching the suburbanite drones perpetually tend their yards making sure the smallest flaw is corrected is something I just can't get into. Basic maintenance and even a sane desire for it to look nice is one thing but I refuse to be a slave to half an acre of suburbia. <br /><br />I truly can see myself migrating back close to the coast after the kids are grown and living in some sort of camper trailer in a certified white trash retirement trailer park. Add a beat up old truck to get me to the beach and a couple of fishing rods to cast in the surf, now that would be heaven.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-82805530566818382632009-05-16T14:45:00.000-06:002009-05-16T14:45:00.000-06:00we had summer for 2 weeks and now it's raining and...we had summer for 2 weeks and now it's raining and spring like..texas...gotta love it.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-42749171602912946632009-05-16T14:43:00.000-06:002009-05-16T14:43:00.000-06:00Utah

Sure it can't wait a year or two. Hell if it falls on your house insurance will cover it. By the way, that looks like a thousand dollar tree with a cherry picker.
