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.

Mr Norman, sir,

From the NSW SES website.

If you answer yes to any of the below questions, call the NSW SES on 132 500.
Your request for assistance will be logged by our operations centre who will give you a reference number. Your request will then be forward onto the nearest SES unit for action.

Has a fallen tree blocked access? i.e. front door/driveway/road
Is a tree threatening to fall on your property or driveway?
Is your roof damaged or leaking?
Is there damage to your property that you cannot fix yourself?

Yeah it’s hanging right over the fence.
Close enough then.
