Take care of yourself first dude

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for you, Gravis, and the people who help make your videos. I think I may have learned more from your content than I did from AvE before he lost his mind. While you may have had a rough go of it behind the scenes as of late your work has continued to impress. I wish you and yours continued and increasing success. Cheers, young man.

Good news about the tree! Less good about your neck! Argh! 💜 If heat seems to help, those little Thermacare portable/one-use heating pads can be lifesavers! I woke up with a bad neck last week (I have arthritis, apparently, according to the xray), and my wife convinced me to try wearing one, and lo and behold I was able to go to work, and even felt measurably better by the end of the day! Not 100%, but better than I would have been! They make neck shaped/sized ones; I recommend picking up some medical paper tape too, though, in case the stickum doesn't stick to your skin well. 💜 I hope you're feeling much better soon!

Whatever you do, make sure they’re insured! I hope you feel better soon.

I’d love to know the breakdown of the costs involved. Curious how they get to those numbers!

35k$ is about 1,5 half year worth of average wage in Poland. I think for that price you could fly two lumberjacks from Poland, take them to Disneyland, pay good wage for all that time, fly them back and then take yourself to Disneyland again.

Bright side, you'll have more wood for more shelves now? I guess? Hope the neck stops being a pain in the... neck soon 💜

Good to hear the bill has come down. Rest up, but keep moving and hope the body mends well.

The storm gods hate vintage computers. Obviously

I cut down two medium sized Ash trees last year (they had ash bore infestation.) It was no fun but I saved $1500. I still have at least 9 fingers too! :)

Rest well, Gravis, consider it your body telling you to enjoy the holiday and rest a bit. Happy Thanksgiving!

My general advice to other people these days is 'If you end up owning property, do not allow trees larger than a station wagon within their full grown height of any structures you'd like to keep. Strike preemptively if circumstance means you start out violating that rule'

Trees do get speeeendy. I had a dozen big ones removed this year for about $12k, but more than half of it was just one monster. That was leaning. Towards the house. And was the tree positioned with all the sail area to catch all of the prevailing wind. Towards the house. And it was so big they'd have to take it down with a crane to avoid damaging anything else.

Why are all my fav creators getting tree'd?

Good regards tree, Yikes regards injuries, take care!

just keep a branch or some sticks from that tree for the holidays.

Guess I can't bitch about paying $700 a tree to have some of the birch removed from my back yard.

Ah they gave you the ol' "I don't want to do this job" price. I hope this new contractor job goes as smoothly as it can.

The cursed truck removal has brought great luck upon the tree 🌲

Definitely the worst part of getting older is surprise bills and pains.

As someone who recently had two 80ft+ tall trees taken down and ground up shortly after a hurricane? Yeah that’s a far more reasonable number, I’m glad you didn’t get too gouged. The two biggest bastards here cost me $13k for the pair.
