Default Re: just a rant

Off topic but to Abe Lugo's point, my dad's neighbor lives on a large lot with lots of trees. Due to a parasitic wasp, Pin Oak trees are dying here in the mid-west. He had 4 large Pin Oaks that died. His mother was in the same situation. He was getting tree removal quotes of $5,000 and up, per tree. This guy bought a used forestry bucket truck and a chipper for the cost of paying someone to remove the trees. Now he has a weekend side hustle. You can charge so much before the enterprising person takes the job on themselves.
