Where can I find the replacement cost of a mature tree?
I have had 3 white pine trees, each over 25 years old, ruined by right of way tree trimmers. I want to find the cost of replacing the trees. The company came onto my land, past the right of way allowed them.

RE: Phone lines cut twice in two days. My neighbor's tree trimmers may have cut the phone lines to my home
My question is: Who is going to pay for this repair? My line is buried, but they got it anyway. Someone told me I would have to pay $100 for each visit from the phone company. I know the neighbor won't pay and the Tree Trimmer won't either! We paid for the original burial of lines when we remodeled our house some years ago. Whadda you think? We didn't call the phone company or utilities, since we didn't know the big truck was coming....and shouldn't have been in our yard anyway! We're outta luck?

Shouldn't those who live off the tithe offering also work for the church?
Deuteronomy 14:22 requires one to support the Levites with their increase. Increase means the profit, not the gross amount. The Levites (Church) received no inheritance from the land of Israel, so lived off the tithe. This included all the Levite family who worked, such as singers, cleaners, door keepers, teachers, weed cutters, tree trimmers, grass cutters, etc. I often wonder why those who pay tithe only pay the preacher, are often asked to maintain the church premisis when their family, who lives off the tithe, do little, or work at outside employment. Kinda like stealing from the flock, wouldn't you say?

Does anyone know how to treat blight in a flowering pear tree? Our tree-trimmers charge $500 to treat it!?
The tree dropped its leaves after they developed black spots, and the diagnosis was "blight." We don't want to lose it, but would like to try and treat it ourselves at a more reasonable cost! Thank you!

Can a wireless internet co. say cut your trees for better signal for others or no internet for you?
Wireless company said we either let them trim our trees at their expense so they can have a signal at the next town over or they will move their antennae and we get no wireless. Then told the tree trimmers to down any trees in the way of their signal on our property basically without our permission, and we have to deal with at least three downed 20+ foot tall cottonwoods on our own. Do we have any rights?

Drawbacks of tree trimings as mulch?
I get many loads of chopped up tree trimmings from local tree trimmers working for the REMC. I use it everywhere as mulch. Beautiful dark brown dirt in 3 years. But I read where the much will "draw" Nitrogen out of the earth. I think this may be right as tomato plants in the mulch this year did poorly. What is the easiest and cheapest way to replace the Nitrogen ? For the most part, I don't want anything growing in the mulch, but when I put it around trees, etc., I probably should be restoring the Nitrogen. Jim West www.IndianaMilitary.org Thanks

Is there a way to KNOW if a tree needs to be cut down?
We have a very large tree which has some damage to the trunk from termites and age. But the tree still looks healthy, and is the only shade we have in the yard. I have some pictures of the tree if anyone is bored & has the time to view them http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/renaeaz76/tree/tree004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/renaeaz76/tree/tree006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/renaeaz76/tree/tree009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/renaeaz76/tree/tree016.jpg It is a "V" shape and has been gutted out at the base of the "V" and it also has a basketball size hole in the back of the trunk. There is also a large bulging section on the trunk. Local tree trimmers won't look at it because its a few feet from major powerlines, and if we call the city to remove it they'll take it down whether it needs it or not. So trying to get some input before we call the city, thanks!!!!

What is the legal way to proceed in trimming a tree from a neighbors property?
We have a large half dead pine tree hanging over our property line from our neighbors yard. It is too large to trim without a professional. When we had tree work done to remove trees from around our house, we asked permission from the neighbor to trim the tree. Originally we recieved permission from wife, but when the tree trimmers asked permission to go into their yard the husband said no, but that we could pay to cut it down. We in no way intended to pay that much money. When we contacted to town, we were told we had the legal right to trim overhanging branches, but not by trespassing on their property. There is no way to trim it without getting into the tree. We now have vermin in our attic that have gained access from their tree. How do we legally proceed? I now have to pay to have someone remove the vermin from my HOUSE. A ladder? Really? Never heard of one. I wonder why I wasted all my time typing completely forgetting about a ladder. Oh, yeah, because is too high, genius. Renting a Cherry Picker is a great idea. That's what it may take. Small Claims court. Another good idea. Keep em' coming!
