Charlie, if you can cut up and haul it away, it may not cost as much as you 
think to get it dropped in pieces. Dad just had 2 huge maples in his yard 
dropped for $350. Pretty much one guy did all the work, the boss just 
watched. We cleaned it up--that took a while! As tall as you say it is that’s 
going to one heck of a bucket truck or they will have to climb it. We've 
found the prices those guys charge are all over the place, start asking 
around for recommendations.

Is it near a power line? If so the power company should take it down and 
haul it away at no cost to you. Dad has another tree that the power company 
is coming to cut this fall.

Good Luck getting it down safely and cheaply!

I have a huge pine tree in front of my house.  It's very healthy but for
some
reason it has been progressively leaning toward the house for several years
now.  The way it is situated it can not be safely cut and thrown.  It will
have
to come down in blocks from the top down.  I figure it will cost a couple of
grand minimum to get it down.  It's starting to worry me. If it gives loose
and falls all at once it will cut the house in half.    I think there is
just a
slim chance that it can be felled in one piece but I'll need something like
a
winch truck or a large excavator to makes sure if falls the right way.
Time will tell.  If it fell right now, given where I am sitting in the
house,
you wouldn't likely hear from me any time soon if at all.  LOL.
I don't think it will go all at once unless we get a very bad hurricane.

Maybe just a bit less on the other side of the river Spencer but much
the same. One thing happening here is with the steady wind and the
saturated ground from the last couple weeks events some trees are
falling. Nothing on me or mine other than a few medium to small limbs.
However my neighbor down on the creek says he has quite a few on the
ground.
