Taking the trees down for $200.00 isn't all that bad of money. It's the clean up that's the problem. He's a funny guy, bears watching.

Dropping trees is no job for rookies! Hope he has life insurance!

How to start a lawn mower?!? Really? Putting "911" on the speed-dial of every phone you own seems like a fine idea! :whistling:
This guy shouldn't be allowed to handle dangerous tools ; you might want to take him aside and explain the many
advantages of using crayons instead of nasty ol' pens and pencils. :w00t2::ermm:

Good man sir. I think that anyone like yourself who will take the time with this young man never had with a dad, should be commended. I am not a tattoo fan at all.....But then again I don't really know anyone into them...It's the person that matters, and if he is worth your time, take the time to invest in another human being. It may payback handsomely for your heart if nothing else...

Regards, Kirk

The fact you are helping him says a lot about the type of neighbor you are. Hopefully he doesn't hurt himself, the saw, the ladder, the utilitys, or the neighbor. I hear Americas Funniest Home Video pays $10000 for the best video each week. You may want to set up a camera, by the sound of it, it may help cover the damage:w00t2:

You are a good person for helping. I believe there is a tally book somewhere. I believe that those that help others will some day be helped when they most need it.
