Fatty March 30, 2006 Share Fatty GC Founder March 30, 2006 My neighbor was cutting down a couple trees today. All I can say is that the fence can be fixed...... Note the drawings on the ground where the kids were earlier.... Missed the house (and our new shingles), and everything else....very fortunate for all. Thanking God atm. I was downstairs and heard a big crash.....then, as an experience parent...paused to listen for the crying. Nothing, so I ran upstairs....to find that the noise was not IN the house.

Flitterkill March 30, 2006 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member March 30, 2006 This guy never cut down a tree before? Not hard to aim them (not to mention one usually has another person or two on ropes to guide the beast down if it starts to go off direction) Simple accident or moron? Which one fits oh Fat-one? -Fk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit March 30, 2006 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member March 30, 2006 I'm assuming he was doing it himself. Moron. Hopefully he took note that the kids weren't in the yard and that's why he cut it when he did. I think I'd still have a few choice words for him. Too bad he didn't take out his van.

Fatty March 30, 2006 Author Share Fatty GC Founder March 30, 2006 I am too busy being thankful to care about what-ifs and why-fors. The look on his face when I came out the back door needed no additional grieving. I said one thing: "The fence can be fixed." Maybe their dog will come over and eat my dog now, though...could be another blessing on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman March 30, 2006 Share Batman Member March 30, 2006 Man Id be mad as heck! He should have knocked on your door and told you first.. And he should have topped the tree first... What a Jerk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty March 30, 2006 Author Share Fatty GC Founder March 30, 2006 Glad you guys are mad at him for me. Strange, I was never in the least bit upset, and I'm still not. He'll take care of fixing things up. Now, when the dog crapped under my chair in my office and I rolled the wheels over it and ground it into the carpet and up around the roller....you could have seen mad.....insane mad....

Rashad March 30, 2006 Share Rashad Member March 30, 2006 I find it's interesting how you didn't get mad Fatty. If that tree fell on my fence, I'd be thinking, "boy, that guy must feel like idiot right now". I guess I'd feel sorry for him. Then, I'd make him pay for the fence repair.

discom March 30, 2006 Share discom Member March 30, 2006 I was reading the caption before I saw the pic, and I read "Note the drawings on the ground where the kids were earlier".

Fatty March 31, 2006 Author Share Fatty GC Founder March 31, 2006 Some of ya'll just must not like your neighbors. I was just out there with him as he's nailing boards up. He apologized again as I was on my way in....and I said, "Forget it. Rest tonight knowing that it was just a fence." I actually feel bad because I can't find the stain I used on that fence a couple years ago. Would make that part much easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty March 31, 2006 Author Share Fatty GC Founder March 31, 2006 Oh wait...forgot to tell you....lol, just reread and I left this out. He's an electrician. He did some work for a guy that got expensive so they traded favors. This other guy is a sheriff who "cut down trees for 5 years with parks and rec." Neighbor and I laughed tonight (well, rollled out eyes)...cause when I first came out the guy was taking about wind. It was almost comical...cause he's talking about wind, and we're all 3 standing there....and maybe, maybe there was a leaf moving somewhere on the block. I mean, you couldn't fly a kite and he's talking about a gust of wind. LOL. People say funny things when they screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbilDustBunny March 31, 2006 Share EbilDustBunny GC Alumni March 31, 2006 wow... I can't believe someone would just chop down a tree of that size like that... just started to hack at the bottom?? I like my neighbors... I'd give him a lumbjacks for dummies guide. or we can build a time machine and tilt that tree towards his car... not to destory it thought.... but all those nice branches won't do any good for the paint job.

Xterminator March 31, 2006 Share Xterminator Member March 31, 2006 Fatty i would have chewed him out for that. I'm not a lumberjack but even i know that when ur cutting down a tree, especially in a neighbourhood, you start from the top and work your way down. Not take the easy way out. And for the record, we know what side he was cutting on if the tree gave way into your back yard. Maybe it was on purpose so that he wouldn't have to clean up the mess. I say u make him do it.

farmerisme March 31, 2006 Share farmerisme Member March 31, 2006 I have felled many a tree up at my cabin and it should be noted that sometimes even with very careful planning and execution, a tree falls strangely. Good thing for me is that in the woods the worst that can happen is it falls and mushes a tree that you wanted to keep. Well unless it crushes you or something. That being said, I am thankful that only a fence was damaged and that your kiddies are in good working order fats. Hug em twice tonight. Well it is late, so maybe tomorrow. Sneaking into their rooms at 2am is a little odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymo March 31, 2006 Share anonymo Member March 31, 2006 Now, when the dog crapped under my chair in my office and I rolled the wheels over it and ground it into the carpet and up around the roller....you could have seen mad.....insane mad.... ROFL!!!! I personally can't stand my neighbours sometimes...I get all fired up but usually go into my basement and yell at the wall for a while, then go outside and act like nothing is wrong... My neighbour put his christmas tree on the curb the day AFTER the collection and just left it there for a month...almost everyday when I got home from work it had been blown into my driveway...he also has some silly berry producing plant on the side of his house which birds seem to love, and they crap all over the side of my car...he also leaves this giant white light on in his basement all the time, which goes right into my basement window and keeps me up at night...his hose leaks (because he doesn't bother to turn off his water in the winter) and it's slowly eroding the earth wall that keeps his front lawn off of my driveway...and thats just the neighbour to the south...i won't start with my neighbours to the north!
