$25K FOR REMOVAL!!!
Just for fun, if I'd had a pro remove the BC of the original post, what would I likely have been quoted? Did get an offer from Pete of Evergreen who dumped chips regularly to come over with his big 54" saw to cut it just to see it fall (after it was cable rigged), but the neighbor wanted to cut it for 'old times sake'.
It took about 7 hours to get all the cables up and rigged and to run hinge stress angles and calculations, about 1/2 hour to fell, probably looking at another 2-3 hours to clean up.
All the risk to the buildings was own risk, so no liability except rebuilding <G>.
