4. Can't you cut it down yourself? |
|
Or find a logger who will take it for lumber and pay YOU for it?

Had 2 silver maples removed earlier this year. Both had heartwood rot. Not cheap.

8. And how many cords of wood will they be able to get out of it? |

And sell as firewood? More or less than $1200 worth?

10. Oh, c'mon matcom, chop it down yourself and cut it up for firewood. |
|
You're a strong, youngish man. I'm sure you're up to the task. What could go wrong? :eyes: Just think of all the cozy fires you could have.
I bet you could get a GREAT axe for about $50 bucks.

the fundies will think it's a sign and make a pilgrimage to your house.
ching ching! $$$
This is why I live in a condo. Let the association remove trees, cut my lawn, shovel snow, tile the roof, etc...except I pay a lot for a pool I NEVER get to use. Always full of brats.

14. Is it threatening your home? |
|
Serious question 'cuz you'd attract alot of bird species to make that their home :)
Also, that is a fair price for removal, if it includes the roots !
