Okay, I was working from home today, just minding my own business when I get a knock on the door. It's a guy from a tree service & he says they're working in the neighborhood & do I want any work done. So I say maybe & show him the tree in the photos that's in my front yard (and needs to come down as you can see).
He starts out showing me quotes for other trees they've taken down ($1500-2,200ish), I say nothing. He mentions he could give me a good deal. I just ask him about the crew, where they're working... He starts talking himself down from $1200. I mention my neighbor wants a couple taken down in his yard & we were gonna go in on a deal, but he's not around... Price is under $1000 now. I tell him I'd take all the wood if they'd chip the brush & grind the stump. He takes himself down to $800. I waffle some more, now it's $700. I ask if they'll be around tomorrow, I could think about it. No, they're just around today. I'm silent again for an uncomfortable length of time. $500 he says. Sold!!
