The trees are always infringing on our side and we cut them back as best we can. This month, a HUGE trunk from the tree on my back neighbor's house crashed down on my property, hitting my fence and some other structures. I'm not looking for $$ to fix anything but the neighbor won't even remove the portions of their tree lying on top of my stuff. I finally just went out and did it myself, borrowing a chain saw and then cutting it up into small pieces to haul away. Strangely, the neighbor saw all this and suggested I (and other lowland neighbors) should foot the cost of removing the highland neighbors's big trees since we lowlanders are the ones who are going to suffer when the big trees fall on us. That doesn't seem right to me. Anyhow, in this area, it would cost me over $1,000 to just remove one of the big trees on my back neighbor's property. Thoughts?

I am an apt/condo girl, and my thoughts are limited to "wow, what total assholes." I hope that is helpful in at least some emotionally supportive kind of way, if not of practical help. ful. osity. Whatever, I realize that was ungrammatical; I haven't eaten today.
