They Learned A Costly Lesson After Cutting Down Tree

Michael felt like his heart could burst from his chest as he ran through the doors, approaching them. He tried everything to get their attention. He waved his arms wildly, shouting out to them.

He was desperate to stop them. They never asked for his consent and if they had, he never would have agreed to any of this. Noticing him, the man who was cutting the tree stopped what he was doing and looked over at him. He dialed his phone before handing it over to him.

Michael and Emma were married and lived right by Nashville, Tennessee. They had only just moved and wanted some minor changes to add a bit of personality to their home.

There were many homes in the area and their yard seemed just the same. There were trees lining the property line. They wanted something that made it more unique.

A part of the property they really loved was the oak trees that lined their yard. It was an important factor when they decided to buy the house.

But among the oak trees were countless mulberry trees that blocked out the sun. They decided to get quotes around town to see who could cut them down.

A Strange Request

The trouble started when they started getting the quotes for cutting the mulberry tree that was always blocking all of their sun. They didn’t know how bad things would get.

They were offered a lot of money, but they were content with the oak trees in their backyard that gave them privacy from the road. Michael didn’t think much of the request. He should have.

You see, Michael’s neighbor had spent a lot of money building a front porch just before Michael and his wife had moved in. It included a fire pit, hanging lights, a jacuzzi, and a pizza oven.

    Just before Michael and his wife moved in, their neighbor had renovated his porch, adding a pizza oven, a jacuzzi, the works. So he had something to ask of them.

Michael would be lying if he wasn’t a little jealous. But there was a problem to this new addition.
