I'm in Colorado. The stumps are at the edge of the lawn, just past the sprinkler system.

Those trees had been a problem all along, but my then husband kept putting off removing them. We got divorced this year and after a very windy day some huge limbs crashed down. I had to pay to have that mess all chopped up and hauled away and decided that enough was enough, so I had the trees cut down. Even more important than the cost of the cleanup, I was afraid that someone would get hurt.

That old saying is so true. It was well worth the money, IMO, to prevent future problems and expenses. I'm pretty frugal. I am doing most of the reconstruction of that little rental to recoup my insurance deductible, and to save money overall. While I'm very sad that my favorite tenant died, and the entire experience has been a huge challenge, I'm learning a whole lot and becoming a stronger, better person.
