re: Elderly neighbor wants me to pay to replace her fence

Dealing with similar situation. My neighbor is an old lady. Her oak tree branches are starting to lean on my roof and tangling with the electrical wire running to the house. Called entergy and they said since it's on my side of the sidewalk they will disconnect the line while we have the branches trimmed. Called a tree cutting service for a quote. $500...Give the quote to her and tell her she needs to get this taken care of since the branches could cause damage to my roof if a bad storm comes and it's a fire hazard to have the wires tangled in the branches. She basically told me that the tree is older than both of us combined and she refused to cut it/trim it. I showed her the wires and she pretty much told me to go frick myself, in a more polite way lol. So I'm debating either to get the neighborhood association involved or just cut it and wait outside with a beer and a smile waiting for her to see it.

You can cut it if you want if it is over the property line but she doesn't have to do it. Now if damage occurs after notification, she can be held liable. This subject has been covered multiple times on the OT. But she is actually correct in telling you to get screwed.
