Cobra potty trained Lifetime Members 1,938 Member For: 21y 10m 14d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/04 08:26 AM Share Posted 05/01/04 08:26 AM having an interesting run lately ....Sunday ..... Melbourne/Mt.Dandenong .... 10am'ish ... strong winds swwwwwooooooooossssshhhhhhhhh THUD thud ... half a freakin gum treeoh well ... I can live with this ... who needs a carport or roof ?? but the tree nearly hit the ute ... the carport beams broke under the load and deflected the branches (bless those beams :lol: )the other half of the tree is still standing but it has been weakened where the half split off (talking about a 100' gum splitting into a 100' remnant and dropping a 60' long section on the roof)today I try to organise the insurance etc etc ... but I was getting nervous about what was left of the existing treeI do some researching ....I find out that the base of the tree turns out to be 300mm in next doors property .... never ever noticed it beforeI want to cut it down, but need to get the local council's permission to my neighbour who can permit me to cut it down ....insurance company says that it would not cover me if the rest of the tree falls on the house (as I am supposed to have had time to do something about it)and .... here is the twistmy neighbours won't help and tell me I'm trouble making there are some real ferrils in these hills I'll sleep well tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 05/01/04 09:52 AM Share Posted 05/01/04 09:52 AM Make a complaint to the council about the safety of the tree. They will be responsible then if they don't ensure it's safety and it falls after they have been notified of the potential hazard. Otherwise drill a hole in the trunk and squirt a BIG syringe of roundup in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can say to them, "Hey, I tried telling you that we needed to get rid of the tree. But did you listen?" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
