So today I was home to get a large dead tree removed from our backyard. We had been wanting to do this for over a year. Trucks and crew came, nice guys. Long hair, tattoos, the works. In order to get perfect access to the tree, the ideal situation would be to go into our backyard neighbor's yard. We have never really talked to them, but I never really got the impression they are friendly.
They have barking dogs all day, messy backyard, and even our neighbors asked if they could tidy up a bit since they are selling their place, and they basically got denied.
So the tree guys asked the woman in the back house if they could access our tree from there.
The tree poses a threat of falling on either of our houses, so it does benefit them. (As I watched from my porch) the woman says sure, no problem. The guys said they'd have to move their boat and cut a branch off their tree to get their trucks in "sure, no problem" she says.
They cut a small branch of their tree and this guys comes out of nowhere screaming, cursing, yelling at the tree guys.
"What are you doing, who gave you permission?"etc.
The tree guys said "that woman".
"She's my daughter (30 years old easily), she doesn't own this house!"
The guys are in a yelling battle, then they get super close. Neighbor dude pushes tree guy into fence-SERIOUSLY! I am watching this from my porch window. All tree guys get involved, daughter is calling police. Tree guys come find me to see if I witnessed any of it, I said all of it! Police come, interview both parties, but never talk to me. I go back outside about 45 min. later and truck is trying to pull in neighbors yard.
I asked the guys "did you guys make up or something?" They said "as soon as the cops came, their whole attitude changed."
Screaming, fighting, yelling, tree came down. Here is video of the trunk coming down "Timber!!!"
