Tree dies...

Depends. Did you spin AIDS?

I guess it depends who's probably it is on. If it is really on both of your properties, then he may have a hard time blaming it on you since it is his tree, too. But if it is on your property and considered your tree, then yeah, probably your fault. The tree is your responsibility.

Or you can just roshambo, making the loser pay.

Trees get old and fall down. It is the natural life cycle of a tree. If they have not put a complaint in about the condition of the tree before it fell then they can't come complaining to you about an act of god.

Heh thanks for the reply, like the last part :D. Anyway I guess I'll try that because the tree loved the owners so much it couldn't follow the line "till death do us part" and went to his house even in its afterlife XD.

Thanks Spodi :).

Oh sory Talroth didn't see your reply there :). Thanks for that and thank god the trees with them :p.

Thanks :).

I had some trees.. once...

Yeah like has been mentioned before, if it is strictly on your property, then its your job to maintain it, and he does not need to file a complaint before hand to lodge a valid complaint about it this time.

So ultimately, if your property damages his, it is your responsibility. If the tree is his property, then you're not going to be held liable.

Seems like someone's insurance (homeowner's/renter's) should cover it. I'm not certain about that, though.

You DO have insurance...RIGHT?

If the tree was on your property it is your responsibility and you (or your insurance) will be responsible for any damages.

Perhaps you should wait to see if your neighbor actually asks you to pay and if you still disagree that you should then perhaps you should consult a real lawyer.

I had trees once, too. I had to cut them down to make beds for everyone as well as a bucket. There weren't many trees, and later on when more people started to arrive, I had to buy beds from the itinerant merchants.

I think next time I head out into the wilderness, I'll remember to bring logs with me. Or at least more barrels.

This is almost like a zen kōan. "If a tree falls in the 'burbs, but there is noone there to claim it as their property, does it cause an insurance claim?"

I love the nature of inside jokes. To us, that's a joke, but then to everyone else who's never seen boolean's comic, it's an AIDS joke, which then makes it sound horrible.

Just where is that comic anyway? Isn't it backed up anywhere?

Pfft, damaged their gutter pipes?! At least it didn't smash a giant hole in their house. (Our insurance covered the damage, even though the tree was on our neighbor's property).

Apparently he still has them, just hasn't got them hosted. I'd have no problem putting them up for him though; it's not like my site burns much bandwidth at the moment, anyway.

I skimmed through Phantom's post last night and went back to read it the next morning and half of the post was just gone!

Imagine my surprise when I wake up the next morning to only half a large string of text! I stopped dead in my tracks and thought "what the fuck?!?". I proceeded to flail my arms around Jack Sparrow style exclaiming, "strings of text don't just vanish! Where the hell is it?!?" I approached my desk, then darted for it in hopes that the words wouldn't have time to escape.

I ended up concluding that it was a lumberjack, or vampires sucking the binary from my internet tubes.

awww man, don't tell me they have gone digital... that would just su
