My neighbor trimmed his tree.
There is a 50 year old Maple tree that stands 20 feet from my house that belongs to my neighbor. He had a guy come in and 'top' it today.
During the process, the power to the streetlight and my garage was 'interupted' by a large branch tearing the wire off the pole, snapping the support wire that held the pole straight, ripping the wire off my garage, etc, etc! I now have a 150 foot run of Allegany powers wire tied to my house in 2 places to keep someone from being FRIED! no power to my garage and no streetlight. On the PLUS side, I got the wood from the 'trimming' process towards next years heat! ( and have NO responsibility' for the damage!)

Re: My neighbor trimmed his tree.
Free wood for a "minor" inconvenience? Not bad..

Re: My neighbor trimmed his tree.
I don't understand why people are still topping trees, it's awful for the tree, the new growth looks like ass and is poorly attached, and now it will have to be maintained every 3 years or so, you can expect your wire to get ripped down again when a branch snaps off due to poor growth.
I hope you've contacted the local PUC about the service wire as well as the guy wire for the pole, it's there for a reason and someone could get hurt. |

I drove it to my senior year, my 20th class reunion, and next, my 40th! Now I HAVE to move it, so it's time to get started! I backed it into that spot last november. (under it's own power)

Re: My neighbor trimmed his tree.
Power co came out and fixed the problem. The only thing i 'lost' was a $20. light fizture that died from the 'surge'.
I ain't worried about the 'loss'. The guy that caused it gave me a 3 ton Come-along and a 20,000# bottle jack and a pair of 50's vintage fog lights Sunday. And all the wood that came off the tree. $20. worth of 'damages' covered!
