Luck Can Still Be a Factor, No Matter How Good You Are

Wow.  I can't believe that guy is up so high.  You were smart to stay after this.  It could have caused quite a problem in the next windstorm.

Mark - I do believe that luck plays a part in many things. Glad you were finally lucky enough to get someone to down that dead tree.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint ~ they say it's better to be lucky versus good, and there's a ton of truth to that saying... With that said, it's a real blessing when you are both lucky & good, as you are

Mark Don, I am so glad that you finally got that taken care of....and that you finally found a real professional, too!

Glad you got that worked out, Don.  Of course, you could've just started cutting that thing at the base to see how much luck you really had!

Hi Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint I'd say that you were very lucky to get that tree down before it destroyed both houses....and lucky it was done properly....

I'm glad it didn't go down in the windstorm. Now it's being taken care of and it will be out of the way. That's a good thing. 

Mark - Several years ago, I wanted to get my front yard tree pruned.  I had worried about one exceptionally large limb hanging over my house. Before, I could arrange to have it done, a really strong rain and wind storm came up, and snapped the limb off, even with the trunk.  The prevailing winds were such that the limb missed the house by mere inches.  I am convinced that behind those clouds the moon was full, and the stars were aligned.  Luck truly can be a factor!

Good morning Mark. I have a tenant that is in the tree business. I have seen him take down some trees, it seemed like a surgeon and yes sometimes being lucky is just what is needed.

Sometimes the only way to see who is honest and who isnt' is to call...and see who shows up and gets it done.

Now you KNOW who to call next time.
