New house, neighborly advice.

The thing I don't understand about this situation, is why did someone put the shed under the limb in the first place? :confused3:

• They just did not look up and see the limb?
• They did see the limb but not the risk?
• The limb and tree provides shade and that was what they wanted?
• Or they wanted the limb to fall on the shed to have a p....ing contest with the neighbor?

Very odd but I give it equal probability for any one of the above reasons. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

At first I thought this post was going to be a joke, but I don't think it is now.

The effort gone into this thread could have moved the shed 50 feet by now.

You got that right.

Yep. I would have moved it long ago.

I haven't had the time to fool with it.

Not sure how I ended up being the bad neighbor in everyone's eyes here.


When there is time I intend to roll the shed on 10" wood corner posts as far as I can with out blocking the gate. Cut the limb using a boom lift, clean up limbs with grapple (town has weekly brush removal, which is sweet), give the wood away and reposition the shed.

I'd still like to talk to the neighbor to let them know beforehand.

 

[GPintheMitten]

Good plan.

Sorry. Sometimes when a thread keeps going we forget that the OP may have already figured out what they will do.

You are not the bad guy. Everyone has an opinion. And it's easy to be brazen and cavalier with somebody else's problem. I say talk to them. I can't imagine they would make a fuss about you cutting the limb and preventing an issue from arising.
