Mr & Mrs SES have gone home.

The job to remove the tree is “beyond their classification level”, so they tell me.

So they are calling in Mr Tree Feller (professional arborist) to remove it. Surprisingly at no cost to me or insurance company.

I’l await a number of calls from all parties involved over the next day or so.

PS. Benny Boy got lots of pats and was very well behaved.

Does the SES pay the man?

I believe so.If something is above their “skill classification level”, then those skills can be purchased from elsewhere. “skill classification level” also means appropriate tools and equipment.

If they just started chopping it up, it could fall further damaging the roof and gutters. The trunk needs to be supported before they can start chopping it up.

That’s a great community service.
