Half the Tree It Used to Be

An Omaha Nebraska man had to cut his tree in half in order to appease his neighbor. The neighbor was angry because the tree was killing a small section of grass on his property line, so after going to small claims court, the owner of the tree had to trim it. He decided against cutting the tree down entirely because it provided a backstop for his kid’s basketball hoop.

Take that angry neighbor. A small patch of dead grass under a bushy tree looks a lot better than a mangled evergreen bordering your lawn. I guess you should be careful what you wish for. I’m sure this is going to start a wonderful feud. The police dispatcher will have fun dealing with the weekly calls dealing with the “he said, she said.” Hooray for not getting along over minute details. Let’s break out the pink flamingos and broken down cars and put them in our lawns so everyone’s property value goes down. Yeeehaawww, this squabbling is fun.
