That is one ugly snag! It looks like just a stob, right? Funny to me how some home owners will let things go for so long

No stob there here is another view I opted to fell this rascal lol
I took all I could off with a sixty foot bucket reaching up wit a power pruner. The pic of the tree is what was left when I winched the leaning tree leaning toward house away from the house and then the after it was down pic is here too!

Then of course there is the live ones growing out of roofs beside 12000 volts. I really wish I would have taken pictures when I worked as a hazard tree expert for our power company. I am slowing down some now at 47 ain't what I once was.

People who build like that are not thinking. Nice.

Bucket truck???...I thought you were ropensaddle??...you didn't CLIMB that tree and top it? LOL! Just kiddin Man, I can't beleive that thing was still standing with all of that crown weight leaning over like that! I remember that "pine in the middle of the roof" tree from another thread...that was a cut-n-chuck job wasn't it? Hopefully you got some "stress factor pay" for those two jobs. Rep ya when I can

Wow you gave me an idea maybe with my lazy eye and of course a little drool I could get Space to go after my last employer for stress related illness lol. I could say removing all those danger trees around the power has caused me to have nightmares and make my lazy eye twitch and drool spills each time I turn on a light switch lmfao.

A guys gotta get his hazard pay right? Make sure when you meet up to plead your case that you go camp out the night before next to a high voltage power grid, so that eye will be particularly twitchy and drooling! :hmm3grin2orange:

The hell of it is; it would probably net me something but I only am poking fun, I have never even thought of suing anyone other than making funnies

Yep, this is America, where people can sue for spilling hot coffee on themselves; or maybe for smoking all of their lives, developing lung cancer and then suing the tobacco companies. I knew you were only funnin I am sure that I could get some money for some wrecks incurred while working for certain outfits, but hey...a guys gotta have some pride!

Its funny how may people did and continue to benefit from the creative hands who built that.

Ropensaddle keep up the great work.

It's just not right .. Not right for the house , and not right for the tree .....

There is a family near Lake Arrowhead who built their home around an old black oak. They where very proud of themselves.
In that area almost all old oaks are hollow and decrepit.
This one was no exception. The raccoons soon discovered the direct route into the house and all kinds of tragic ironic comedy followed.
