Monday, September 13, 5:22 PM - Partner called, got directions. He came by and gave a bid of $2500.00 for completely removing tree, and $1500.00 to take the weight off the top.
Monday, September 13, 8:30 PM - I called Owner of ATS/ATC back as requested, told him the bid price, and that I did not have the resources available to get it down at the price, we continued talking, our work came up, and I mentioned that my husband does flooring, Owner of ATS

Friday, September 17 Approx 3:00 PM - Met Owner of ATS at a Shell station in Florence, MS so he could lead us to his home - so my husband could evaluate the floor. At this time, Owner of ATS said he would take down the tree if my husband would do the floor work, which was replacing the subfloor and pulling out all the standing cabinets my husband told Owner of ATS he would like to think about it and would call him back. Owner of ATS said that he would get the tree down for us in the next week if my husband would do the floor. Owner of ATS then said the he would not need to see the tree, he would get on out there and get it down; he said our tree was small compared to ones he has taken down in the past, This was all discussed standing in the kitchen of Owner of ATC's home. The floor had large humps in the kitchen area and a few holes in the other area's of his home which were also in need of repair.

Friday, September 24, completed the job. My husband never saw Owner of ATS or had a call from him during the 3 days is took to complete the job. Owner of ATS's wife said he was doing floor work with his son. { wth? doing floor work? why did he not repair his own flooring for the safety of his kids? }

Thursday, September 30, 10:15 AM – Owner of ATS/ATC (answers phone as Tree Service) called me back, he said he was at the Rankin county courthouse with his brother because his brother went to rescue his (the brothers) wife from a crack house, and she then accused of him rape ( Owner of ATS/ATC then proceeded to tell me how nasty his brother was) Owner of ATS/ATC said he was the only witness his brothers had and he had to take care of that. He also told me not to worry, that he loved the floor and appreciated my husbands work and time because it meant that his kids and wife would no longer fall through the floor and they would not get cold with this winter. Owner of ATS/ATC said again not to worry, that he will be out to get the tree down. He also said that he would be by Sunday to look at the tree. { he said in his kitchen that he did not need to see the tree. }
