I really like your writing style, and once again, I am amazed that you became a sane person after growing up in this context. | ||

Obviously he didn't want to tree falling on his house, so he came up with a brilliant plan. He would tie a few small nylon ropes to the top of the three, pull them tightly and tie them off to some stakes in the ground. Obviously that would make the tree fall in that direction, right? Well, as anyone with common sense could have predicted as soon as he finished cutting through the trunk and it was free and moved slightly to the right, the tiny ropes went slack and several hundred pounds of wood fell right into his house. It was a ranch, so the trunk left a nice big dent in his roof. You can always tell people who aren't very bright, they do things like try to cut down 800lbs trees that are four feet from their house by themselves.  | ||

It was a pretty big tree, trunk was at least three feet in diameter and the main trunk was at least 10 feet high. More importantly, it was about four feet from his house. He started by pulling off all the branches and was left with just the large trunk standing free. Obviously he didn't want to tree falling on his house, so he came up with a brilliant plan.

We have to conclude that people are perpetually high on prescription drugs while expertly cutting down trees. Canada is just a cut above the rest of the world when it comes to tree cutting. | ||

Problem is, you really can't sue someone who doesn't have any money. Not to mention the legal implications of hiring a contracter who is unlicenced, in experienced, and uninsured. That's just as stupid. And stupidly leaving your car sit next to a tree that you're having cut down wouldn't help you in court much either. | ||

My dad had something like $25,000 owed to the state of California for unpaid child support that just accumulated over years. Because of this, he couldn't do anything in California...he was scared to get pulled over for fear there would be a warrant out for his arrest. What you point out, that I think is true, is that there is a large difference between owing the state money and owing money to someone that sues you. A guy could be taken behind the courthouse and fisted for 12 hours by the governor of the state for not paying a $100 speeding ticket...but never even think of paying debts to a fellow citizen. I guess I always think of how I would feel in another person's spot. I could never sit idly knowing that I destroyed someone's car. | ||

Well, you should also never hire an unlicensed uninsured random guy to do something like tree removal. There's a reason why professionals charge so much money, because they actually know what the fuck they're doing. There's really a lesson here about what happens when you hire someone totally unqualified just so you can save a few hundred dollars. That's like something Basil Fawlty would do. | ||
