We live in the villages on a golf course ----moved in 3 years ago --The couse planted a oak tree (small) about 10 feet from my birdcage --at that time we thought nothing of it ---well today that tree is growing ---the branches are quickly coming towards our cage and within another several years I think it will be completly over or through the screen ...

Last week we called the golf course and they sent out the manager the same day ... We alerted him to our concerns -(we thought it would be easy to move the tree now because it is still relatively small) his reply was that it would take that tree another 50 years to get to the point that it would be large enough to interfere with our home and none of us will be here !!!! ..

He also stated that if we were worried we could trim anything that came over our property !!!!! We love the tree and if we do that the tree will look lopsided !!!

If I were still back in NY --the tree would disappear tomorrow !!!! but since we left that all behind us.... and I have finally bought in to my calmer self
I went out and hugged the tree and apoligized for my thoughts ...but still am left with what I fear will become a dangerous situtation. I have noted all my conversations and worries and will continue to pester the course administration until they get tired of hearing from me..

Documentation wins cases --if they were warned over and over about the problem they will be liable --although prevention to me would be the easier course here

good luck with you AC unit
