Tree Tip of the Day

Hopefully, we all know that it's a bad thing when trees get in the way of electrical wires. The kind people at KU (Central Kentucky's utility company) are particularly aware of this. If you have a tree that's getting in the way of these wires, KU will come to "cut the tree down." The tip is simply to cut the branches yourself. If you leave it up to KU, their job is actually to cut it down to the point where it is no longer in the way of the wires, and if the rest of the tree needs to be cut down, then it is up to the customer. When they come to cut down the branches, they will cut the tree to the point where it will die, but they won't finish the job. However, if you do call them and complain, they will reluctantly come and take care of the rest of it for you.
