We've a new electric line going in through the farm, anyhoo they want to take down the top 6m of a tree, which is pretty much the whole tree!
A lad landed today saying it was being cut Monday.
My reply was how much you offering?
He was stumped (ohhh look at the pun!) For some reason they thought it was a benefit to me having it cut as I was getting timber, my reply to that was that I was quite happy to see it growing for another 30 years!! I've more timber than I know what to do with following a big thinning out of trees on the farm.
Told them they needed to get me a figure on the tree!!
Now we have been very amicable all through the process, other farms have been an epic pain to the point that the line is months behind schedule.
It's a fairly big Sycamore. Nothing special.
What is reasonable?!?
