If you still need the limb taken off, PM me. I have a pole chainsaw that, if I stand in the back of my pickup bed, I can reach up about 20'.

Thanks Paul. My neighbors having some trees dropped and the guy has to drive thru my yard- i'll tell him about the limb toll .

Or at the very least (if you have a fireplace / wood stove) have him cut some of the wood to your specifications and have it piled wherever you want it in lieu of a trespass toll.

Never been one to go high with a chainsaw even though I've only had smaller electric ones, myself. But when I was in high school my dad had no problem sending me up 15 or so feet on a ladder with a Medeival two-man, wood cutters saw (I now have in my possession). I think it was his version of manning me up. Maybe it's safer than a chainsaw, what do I know.
