Big landing zone. My groundie(s) are not that adept at cutting stuff like that proficiently. Its got 4-6" x 25-30' branches sticking out 360 degrees. I could limb it fine on the ground and ride back up, but thought limbing would allow an in-tree inspection, cut down on clusterfooks when $200/...
As the lightning struck tree has large branches 360, it will be hard to set down with a non-limbed crane pick. I'm thinking of speed lining the limbs and craning the wood. The trunk looks mostly intact. Any input on this plan. There is a minimal horizontal distance to get to the chipper...
HO said insurance company gave him a fixed amount per tree, but not enough to cover half of $3875 bid price. He said via email that this situation is what he expected. I don't know what that means.
Erik did a valuation for a pine that was damaged in a storm. I don't know the outcome. I was surprised at the value of a smaller pine 40'ish.
My neighbors work for State farm, wife a vehicle adjuster, husband a house/ property adjuster. I'll ask them about it.
I'm figuring that a lightning strike might be an act of god that will be something that constitutes a loss of property value. The dead trees are from a direct, acute incident by a force of nature.
HO is not a friend. He emailed me yesterday saying he wanted the bid, as he had other bids in...
Pat, I'm talking loss of property value, not log value. The property loss value could be thousands per tree, plus there are the logs. One tree, the direct hit is a firewood tree.
Will be craning likely.

Please share experiences with:
1) lightning struck Doug-fir barely alive after strike 8 months ago. Two adjacent trees were also killed by the lightning, seemingly from the grafted roots. They are fully dead. Removal considerations...
2) HO's Insurance paying for removal
