This is a photo I took this morning of the only thing left of the tree, the bark is wet in the picture. Inside looks kinda red.
Why did they cut it so tall? I'd fire myself if I cut trees like that!

They actually cut it again towards the bottom, they just left the round there. The guy was pretty nice about it. They came to some sort of barter agreement. Not sure what it is yet.
Sounding good!

Where I'm at, an actual survey is not necessary to sell or purchase property. Lots of disputes over property lines because buyer takes the word of the realtor.
never ever take the word of a realtor, there only job is to get the property sold( any way possible) for their green stamp percentage.
I surveyed hundreds of property disputes of all kinds and I've seen lot's of peeps pay way more money for things like fence/wall/road/ditch encroachments/grading/property damage/tree felling etc. on their adjoiners properties than a survey, accurately marking the true property lines would have cost.

"good fences make good neighbors" is a popular saying. We all don't want a fence but marking the property corners and a few points-on-line will define who owns what, and avoid accidental encroachment.

I was referring to what the actual agreement was.
Knew of a person that decided to cut the trees on his property for a view. Cut all of his and then realized the neighbors trees were blocking his view too so he had them cut too. The neighbor, a clerk magistrate that was trying to sell the house (a vacation home), called a tree service to come assess the damage and give an estimate for replacement of the now cut, 15 pines that were approximately 30' tall/12"DBH each. The guy presented two offers to the neighbor that cut the trees, pay the $150,000 replacement cost or buy the house for $550,000.
The guy bought the house.
The guy bought the house.
If that was market value, makes sense...can sell it to somebody who never knew the trees were there.

I admire the way the home owner seems to have handled this. Maybe the sugar maple(s) will flourish with the competitor removed.

Sure looks like a pin oak, willow oak, red oak, etc, not a white oak
Well the new owner of the house is a contractor but he is keeping the house... Or so he says.
He actually agreed to renovate the master bathroom in my future FIL's. Gutted it down to studs... Very nice guy, we BS'ed for a while, and it turned out pretty good for my FIL. I'd estimate what he did for them in the 12-14k dollar range if I were to bid something similar.
