It's a trap!
It isn't what you think it is.
It wasn't just the tropical storm that nocked down that big walnut tree in the new neighbor's back yard into ours.

The new neighbor with bulldozers, police, and construction workers at his command. He suggests his friend the cop doc part time architect who will bring it down for the small total of $400+ Show Spoiler +
We are pretty much at a point where we don't even have $100 that doesn't go towards things we need like bills,food,etc.
. You say sure but you just want some more details but you just stall for time like you always do. You bluff and bluff and they believe you but that big tree is being held up by another two trees and if it comes crashing down then it will destroy half the house, Just not the boys' rooms and the bathroom. You find out the neighbor wants the tree down on his side so he can put up a fence.

You know the background of him. He threatened our dogs we are breeding and put up a mini mansion. He destroyed all the bushes in our back yard and made such noise as to torment our lab pup as she grew up. Don't you remember my complaints coming back from middle school to my room next to a construction site? Don't you remember the pain it caused for everyone nearby and the sowwies we got from everyone we knew that we had to be the ones living next to the big sneaky rich Fox. And that was only 2 years ago! (I'm 15 now)

When you look at his yard are there any roots from the tree? No! Are the roots cut just so that it would fall this way? Most likely but it isn't like our neighbor is dum/nice enough to let us in his back yard. Didn't you see those looks towards where we keep the dogs his friend sent to the window from outside when he came by to see the tree for himself? Remember how he counted with his fingers and when asked why he was counting said "uhh... because I uhh... am trying to figure out how uhh.. many guys I'll need helping me to uhh... take down the tree."

Don't do it Mom...

Whatever we do we won't let this sneaky little Fox best us if we can help it. Any ideas guys? =/

Some guy's tree threatens to crush part of your house?

Call the planning and zoning people, if they're the right people to call. I'm 17, idk if they are. But if it's his tree being a problem to your safety, he should foot the damn bill.

Unfortunately, depending on which state you live in, this isn't how the law works...

His tree was rooted in his land, and therefore it is his responsibility. Your parents may refuse to pay the bill, and if the cop tries something, email your senators. Your senators emails can be found easily online by googling "delaware senators" or whatever state you live in.

The senators, and their staff, have a duty to help their voters. Senator pressures his mayor friend which pressures the sheriff of that police department, which gets his dog to back off, which earns your parents vote. Win win.

Yeah, it is definitely not your responsibility that you aren't watching the tree "rooted" in his yard...it is their tree, they deal with it

Well, his tree - his problem. Remind him if the tree crashes your house that he'll have legal problems aka you'll sue him for not taking care of it earlier. Plus if someone is hurt he'll have major problems and maybe jail time since you warned him in advance to take care of it. Have a reliable witness with you when you tell him so. I know that doesn't prevent the tree from falling, but it might convince him or just get you some money if it does happen.

Rich people hate when you threaten to take their money. (Well, who doesn't?) As he seems to already not like you, I guess you won't lose much from confronting him about it.

Also, isn't that like a part of his property is intruding on yours, if you had money you maybe might be able to legally force him to remove it. Are those two trees yours? His property (tree) is causing damage to your trees.
Isn't that tree endangering your lives? There must be some law against that...
Since I'm not familiar with the law in your country (or even mine for that matter), I might just be shooting blindly.

Take some pictures and explain the situation to an attorney.

The law governing these types of issues is pretty cut and dried, and I'm willing to bet it's on your side. Just go in for a consultation and see what happens.

Thanks for the ideas guys. My older brother suggested taking pics and sending them to the insurance company(State Farm) to see if they would give money to us since it is threatening to deal damage.
edit: The trees it landed on is not actually on my property. There is a woods behind our back yards owned by the town which is where it landed.

He is out back with the tree right now. We said to keep it safe and the neighbor said "O yeah he will but I have no idea what he is doing." "I don't either" responded my Mom. This was around 15 minutes ago. We were in the back yard putting dogs out in our fenced yard so that if the tree did crash and hit the dogs they would at least wouldn't shit their panties :3. I showed my father this and he said "yeah but sueing isn't usually the best idea". The guy is discussing what he is going to do and o sh- he is firing up a chainsaw O.O

edit: ok he was just cutting off the small branches and he has NO safety gear on him and is standing on the tree. My mom is describing him as "he's like a monkey!" I moved far away to my brother's room where it is safe. Every time he fires the thing up I am cringing. My parents are hoping it is safe but "the goal is to make it lie down". All these quotes are from my Mom .

edit2: He's starting up the bulldozer! All hands on deck!!!(As in everyone hide in my brother's bunker)

edit3: It is finally over. The Goliath has been downed and the world has learned that the bigger they are the harder they fall. Now, it is lunch time and all they did was destroy the back fence :3.
