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.

Hey do you reckon you could ask them nicely to get this huge broken branch down on the edge of our property?
The insurance company refuse to deal with it, so we’re kinda stuck with it for now. An arborist looked at it and said that no way he’d have his team walk under it, it’s too dangerous.
