Pruning trees in KY is much more expensive than pruning palm trees in
Los Angeles. Even with tax increases state and municipal gov't are
facing billions in cutbacks due to the worsening economy. Forgive us
if we put more emphasis on saving our school system than in pruning
trees.

Armchair quarterbacks always have the answer.

Sure, sure. Are you saying trees are not the #1 cause of power failures?


In a ice storm, yes. Is trimming trees easy, ahh, no. I used to trim trees
for a living.

My link was for Georgia, not Los Angeles. My personal experience comes
for a learned-the-hard-way lesson when Katrina visited Houston in 1983
and my power was out for 10 days, due to trees taking out all the power
lines.


The problem with you drug addled 'tard boy leftists is that you've got Katrina
on-the-brain syndrome.

How hard is it to trim ****ing trees?


Well, they generally use power equipment, such as chainsaws and the like.
You know, the type of stuff YOU shouldn't be operating, Rickmers.

I used to have two pecan trees about seventy feet tall near my house.The
winds from Katrina had caused them to lean toward my house.In June of
2006, I had them cut down and hauled away.Cost me $400.00 for each tree.

That is REALLY cheap for trees that big.

Dave -asks- How hard is it to trim ****ing trees?

Dave,

Tree Trimming is Real Work + Craft + Science
when done right and it don't come cheap to do
it right.

It is Real Work made easier with the right equipment
and can be some what dangerous with just a Ladder
and a Hand or Chain Saw.

Most Trees start out some what Symmetrical and
Balanced around their Trunk and Supported by their
Root System.

1 - Nature comes along in the Form of Wind, Snow
and Ice and breaks of a few Limbs; or Bugs and/or
Disease cause the loss of a few Limbs; or just may
be both. -Result- The Tree is no longer Symmetrical
and Balanced around it's Trunk.

2 - Nature comes along in the Form of Bugs and/or
Disease cause the loss of some of the Root System.
-Result- The Tree is no longer adequately Supported
by it's Root System.

3 - Man comes along and Trims a Tree so that a
Branch will not fall on a Power-Line of on a Home.
-Result- The Tree is no longer Symmetrical and
Balanced around it's Trunk.

4 - Man comes along and Digs in the Ground for
what ever reason and damages the Tree's Root
System. -Result- The Tree is no longer adequately
Supported by it's Root System.

All of the above items 1~4 can cause a whole Tree
to come falling down across a Power-Line, Damage
a Home, and/or Block a Road.

An non-symmetrical Tree that is no longer Balanced
around it's Trunk; with the Wind Blowing on it light
side will come down as fast as if it had been chopped
down with intent. Add Wet Soil and Damaged Roots
and it is not 'if' it is only a matter of "When".

Trees Fall Naturally :
We lost a 135-Ft Pine on the shore of the upper
Pond simply due to Wet Soil and Wind 3-Years
ago. Then we lost another 200-Ft Pine in to the
lower Pond again simply due to Wet Soil and Wind
2-Years ago; this one was 35-Ft back from the
edge of the Pond; and just missed the side of the
local Water Company's Tin Shed by ~15-Ft with
the Back-Up Pumping Station for Emergencies.

real work + craft + science = tree trimming ~ RHF

Yeah - In California the Bill may have been $2400
depending on your Home and other Houses and
Utilities that are around it in the Fall Radius. ~ RHF

The guy is originally from Idaho, his last name is Duck.He got a lot of
tree cutting jobs in Mississippi right after Hurricane Katrina.He lives
in Clinton,Mississippi, a suburb city of Jackson about five miles West
of doggy's couch.He told me he likes Mississippi so much he decided to
move here.Two of the guys who cut my trees down are his sons.His other
son was going to come to Mississippi, but sadly he was killed in a
motocycle accident in Idaho.

Hey Dave,

Folks with underground wiring are the one suffering the most:

It's not all as simple as some think.


Some people think, and some don't. Those who don't sometimes wind up lying about
having a PhD, like you did.

What proof have you ever provided that there's any thing going on
upstairs with you, Steve? You can't even think of an original insult,
you just keep repeating the same nonsense you've been spewing
mindlessly for over five years. You're a joke, bloke. Just an old,
disabled, and pathetic individual insulting anyone that tries to stand
up to your childish behavior.

And speaking about lying: Think this over carefully: Are you disabled
or retired? Or aren't you living off the money you made from suing
your previous employer? Pick one. And then, we'll examine what you've
said in the archives.

In reality, you live such a boring and solitary life that you'll do or
say anything just to get a little bit of attention. People got you
figured out. Just look at the ratings your posts earn...

Keep yapping, little dog. Don't forget to keep re-posting material
from DXLD without credit.
