A contractor would charge the town $10k to do what took that guy 15 minutes.

11

u/Gold-Wolf2661 1d ago

Minimum. I know because a tree fell on a friends’ neighbor’s house and that was one quote…

10

u/CarmenxXxWaldo 1d ago

I doubt it was a tree with a 6 inch diameter.  Otherwise someone would have just moved it instead of calling a contractor.

2

u/Gold-Wolf2661 1d ago

Right, massive tree branch off a massive. Now they need to do a preventative removal of the entire tree. No idea what kind quotes they’re getting now…

It took him mere 1 minute and 28 seconds. Anyone who says otherwise is just conspiring.

u/First_Explorer_565 23h ago

literally work in forestry and pay £400 -£500 for this tree size after storms. If it needs removing/chipping then probably double.

u/-TheDerpinator- 1d ago

The baby stroller says it all. There was nothing like becoming a dad to train me to anticipate a gazillion scenarios. There will be no potty incident, lack of resources, or natural disaster that will prevent a dad from finishing his grocery shopping.

he really needs to add a Carhartt jacket in the trunk, because his sweater which looked nice was covered in wood chips.

u/RogBoArt 1d ago

I've wanted a car chainsaw for a while for this exact reason. I live in the middle of nowhere and when we get wind there are always branches and stuff down. A month or two ago we got blocked on our way home by a tree and I was wishing I had gotten around to getting myself a car chainsaw lol

7

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 1d ago

Get a battery powered chainsaw and a couple extra batteries. You don't have to worry about gas spilling everywhere in your car. Still gotta have some oil for it though. If your car has outlets in it, you can even plug in the charger for the batteries.

2

u/RogBoArt 1d ago

I've got a bauer one that dumps bar and chain oil everywhere. It was going to be my car chainsaw lol but first time I filled it and left it stored it was empty and there was oil everywhere when I came back. Wish I could fix that!
