This was somewhat worrisome. Was the tree sick? Would it die? Would it collapse on the house? Most importantly: how much was it going to cost us?</p> <p>It seemed to be OK, but it was starting to touch the roof. I had heard that branches touching the roof creates an easy highway for animals and insects to invade your house. This was not a desirable scenario. We called in a tree specialist to look at the tree and give us an estimate of how much it would cost to prune it.</p><p><a href="http://armlessbear.com/categories/house/disaster_looming">read more</a></p> http://armlessbear.com/categories/house/disaster_looming#comments House Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:38:19 -0800 kirstin 433 at http://armlessbear.com
