buy chain saw cut up for firewood. Profit! (too bad you dont live somewhere where it gets cold a lot though.)

Was this from a storm? If so, act of God, and you pay theough your own insurance. I know this from recent experience with the exact same thing.

I was actually thinking the same thing. a $300 chain saw, tell your neighbors to help you with it and work together and cut it up. You can even rent a log splitter and bust it down in a day and sell it off as firewood. Let their insurance cover the damage from there or yours.

This will be about $3000, just for the removal.
This exactly why god made mexican day laborers. (Available at most home depots) A couple hours they will have that cut and stacked for you, then you can post on Craigslist you have firewood for sale and watch it be carried off at a profit. Dont pay some other smuck to hire the same day labor you can.

Central air in a detached shed. Gotcha.

just ask him to repair the fence.
At the end of the day, my neighbor would pay, period. But we aren't trashy.
Asking your neighbor to pay for something he is not responsible for is trashy; and it will be trashy when you get the red arse because they didn't pay.

Bro, in my experience, nobody who runs to the internet to cry about stuff like this should be running a chainsaw - diasaster waiting to happen

Free firewood baw. Cut it up yourself and charge those insurance company if you feel the need to do so.
Looks like you hit the jack pot.

I rebuilt my fence last spring, a significant upgrade from the cheap shite that the contractor had originally installed, according to HOA rules, I didn't need permission from neighbors(adjoining,) nor were they obligated to pay, after I was just about finished with mine, the next door neighbor asked if I would have my contractor do his(he didn't realize that I was doing it myself,) I told him that I would split the cost of the run that was on our property line but everything after that was "for profit," I did six of the neighbors fences before I finally had to shut it down, mad quite a bit of money for what began as a weekend project, no one quibbled about the price, they just asked how much did they owe me, still have people coming up to ask about getting their fence rebuilt

Maybe you should get a 56V cordless chainsaw and see how far you get chopping it up?

I love when people use the words/ phrase "absolutely", and "100%" when they are absolutely 100% wrong...
Hope you not an agent...

Not legal advice but personal experience, visibly unhealthy is not gonna work. Unless they have been warned by a professional and ignored the warning, odds are the OPs insurance is on the hook.

Have y'all seen how expensive oak is?
It's not even a live oak.... it's a water oak only good for firewood
