Today, I called a tree removal company to have my diseased elm removed. When I got home from work, I was surprised to find it still there. Not as surprised as my neighbor was to discover that his tree was missing, nor as surprised as his children when they saw there was no more tree-house. FML

Today, my boss sent me to remove a tree from a client's home. So I went and cut down the tree, only for my boss to show up an hour later, speechless. I was supposed to remove a sapling that had sprouted through the driveway tarmac, not the 100-year-old prizewinning Japanese cherry tree. FML

Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML

Today, I spent a half hour trying to help my cat down after he got stuck in the tree on my lawn. I finally gave up and called a local tree care company to help. When I returned outside, I found my cat casually walking about by the door. The guy who showed up to help was not happy. FML

Today, a storm dropped a tree across my road. I would have moved it with my tractor, but there was a tree on that too. FML

Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML

Today, my family and I went Christmas tree shopping. My husband and I were walking around when I saw the perfect tree. Excited, we immediately bought it. When we got home and set it up, I realized it came with a present: termites. FML

Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML

How can they be so reckless about that stuff and not even verify first? It takes a lifetime to grow big enough for treehouses. Poor kids. :/

You would think a tree removal company would know what a diseased tree looked like.

Similar thing happened to my mother in law--she hired guys to clear out the brush and overgrown plants in her yard. She came home to find they chopped down her beloved dogwood trees. How could they think that was brush/overgrown??

Wow talk about unprofessional! Did you check up on this supposable "professional" tree removal service company on Angie's List? If not write them up, they need to do a free removal for your tree and a give a huge apology to your neighbor!

neighbor should sue and you should get your tree removed for free. he should sue for the amount it would cost for a replacement and planting of a NEW tree that is FULLY GROWN enough to hold a tree house for his kids.

You and your neighbor need to file a complaint and/or lawsuit.

Sounds like those kids are getting a brand new tree house and your get a complimentary free service of yours. Seriously that a big mess up on the companies part. Do not by any means pay for anything. Speak to the CEO/ Manager and MAKE THEM PAY!!!! Well unless the address is wrong. Then your on your own.
