Later that day, I got a call from the wife. Two things happened that day. You know the first. The second was that the guy taking down the trees ran over my then 2 year old son's ball and popped it. Not sure which one caused more tears.
Ugh.

We're pushing the neighbors pretty hard to have the pine on their property dropped. It's probably in the neighborhood of 110 feet tall and would do some serious damage if it came down.
