Contract with a tree removal company to take the tree down. Deal only
with a tree removal company that has insurance. Some people recommend
you require the company to *show you* a policy they have obtained from
their liability insurance company covering their work on your property.

After the tree is down, maybe let your guy harvest it for firewood.

Hi, The man in question is a sheriff, I will ask him today about all
these concerns but I am sure he has himself insured, he does this as a
side job so I am sure he knows the laws and libility in the town. He
has already talked to me about the neighbors, because the trees are on
the line they did not want to share in the expence of having them
removed it is a reality company. So I have found someone in an add in
the paper who cuts timber for the price he will get for the timber.
Thanks, Pam

home with no homeowners insurance thats about to be occupied
again.......

lets say a visitor sales guy selling replacement windows trips on the
homes sidewalk and gets hurt. he can sue you for mega bucks, and since
you say the property is more valuable as commercial land the victim
can end up owning your property..........

get homeowners, to protecyt the owners

I would never assume someone is insured just because he's a sheriff.
Get whatever they say is proof.

Familiarity breeds contempt. For some people, they think they won;'t
make mistakes and don't need insurance. I tend to be like that, but I
don't do physical work for other people. Or they think they kno;w the
ins and outs of insurance, and don't need it.

Often trees are take down from the top. Climb up with a chain saw cutting
branches as you go then cut off top sections working your way down. Kinda
scary watching them do it but that way no large pieces fall. If he is
proposing to cut the whole tree at once, be sure he is insured in case the
tree decides to fall the wrong way.
