4. Can't you cut it down yourself?
Or find a logger who will take it for lumber and pay YOU for it?

8. And how many cords of wood will they be able to get out of it?
And sell as firewood? More or less than $1200 worth?

15. Oak wood is THE BEST WOOD AROUND....
You could make OAK CHARCOAL with it... (Incredibly gourmet)


You could make a desk out of it!




DONT "give" IT AWAY!

10. Oh, c'mon matcom, chop it down yourself and cut it up for firewood.
You're a strong, youngish man. I'm sure you're up to the task. What could go wrong? :eyes: Just think of all the cozy fires you could have.

I bet you could get a GREAT axe for about $50 bucks.

13. just set it on fire
the fundies will think it's a sign and make a pilgrimage to your house.

ching ching! $$$

This is why I live in a condo. Let the association remove trees, cut my lawn, shovel snow, tile the roof, etc...except I pay a lot for a pool I NEVER get to use. Always full of brats.

14. Is it threatening your home?
Serious question 'cuz you'd attract alot of bird species to make that their home :)

Also, that is a fair price for removal, if it includes the roots !

Sorry your tree died. do they know why? Was it sudden oak death?
