FPL Good Job

 

I opened the door to a knock, and there stood a man in a bright green vest. He handed me the above doorknob hanger and said, FPL (electric company that has easement on back of our property under the power lines) will be trimming your trees in the next 5 days.

He said maybe late today or sometime tomorrow.

I rushed to the back yard and told Bob the good news that I did not have to call them to cut the trees and rushed back to the computer.

his last words were, we will knock before we enter your back yard.

One hour later I walked in the kitchen still in my night gown to let Beau outside.

Across the pool were these two men trimming trees.

I had no idea they were there. The green guy caught me taking photos and waved, I ran to the bedroom window, and they had left the drive through gate standing open.

 I kept Beau inside until they left and hour later.

 

I thought they were gone, they were not in the back yard, I went out and checked the gate safety and as I walked back, they had appeared in the back yard behind us behind the gate and two were up in the trees. They waved! I followed Beau around while he did his business  and heard the man in the tree yell HEY! I looked and he pointed to the side yard where there was a 4th man peering over that fence.

I looked at him, he said something I could not hear Beau and I walked closer and he said something in Spanish, as I was talking English and he started to shake his head back and forth.

No no hablar! Pointing at Beau and then pointing to the door.

I yelled you want the dog inside?

Seeeeee while nodding up and down and grinning at me.

the most excitement we have had since Hurricane Ian.

I thought he would go around, could not tell him don't step on the rotted fence, and he of course DID step on it causing it to lean almost to the ground.

I will not repeat the words bob said.

Before above below is after.  You can't see much difference but everything that was touching wires is gone

See the tree in the middle above?

Below it is down about 8 feet shorter.

We are thankful they did it and wish they could have taken down more, but they only do what touches wires, and we have to do the rest if we want it done. that means pay for it.

I am so very thankful they cleared what they did.

The last time they trimmed you will find HERE Tree walker in November 2010, they surprised me then when I stepped outside in my night gown and there he was in our tree.

The big Pine with a chain saw, walking from limb to limb, this time it was Jake the unfriendly dog in the yard. I did get great photos 

of him doing his tree walking, I wanted to catch the photo if he fell
