My Lawson's cypr are gone from the front of my house, insurance claim

I held out for a while, they refused to grind out the stumps, but I

that if they didn't, I would not agree. So they came and felled them
today, ground out the stumps and now it's like
there were never there.
They were great for the woodpigeons, who nested in them all the time,
so I
did insist they waited until there were none. I used to be friends
with my neighbours and now, because of these trees, we
hate each other.
She will notice a difference in the winter, when her car freezes over

without the protection from them. Good.
I find this post sad. Why should friends fall out over this, who did
the falling out you or your neighbour?


She did. I thought my resolution was a good compromise, to reduce the
trees and get the alleged damage monitored, like was done for my own
house which has had to be underpinned and that worked without taking out
too many trees. It was not acceptable, apparently and I got fed up (if I
didn't answer the door yet again) that she would bang on my windows
front and side, ring my mobile and house phone continually.
We'll see what happens. I am fairly sure my house will heave after this
and my insurance company will be asking hers to pay for the damage.

Congratulations on winning the 'most selfish git on urg' award.

Happy to get this award because I know the removal of the trees will cause a
heave problem in my own house within a year or so.
I don't mind you disagreeing with me - not at all - but I'd prefer that you
did not call me names.
