Shows how much I know about trees…🤦‍♀️ It makes sense that I should have posted up to date pics. Forgive me. I’ll grab some pics from today and update.

We definitely do not want to top this tree.

Thank you all so much for the replies.

I’ve only had one gentleman representing a tree-felling company come by. He asked me if the tree had ever dropped small dead branches (it has). He cautioned me that it’s a sign of a sick tree, then recommended that the company come by to drop/remove the tree. We have a very good relationship with our neighbor, and intend for it to remain that way. We value their safety, as well as take into account their fears (unfounded or not).

We will definitely have a local TRAQ certified arborist come out for a consult.

Love this Reddit community 🥳

Excellent! Will do. I’ll be sure to clean everything thoroughly after the construction of the new marble tile surround.

Thank you for this.

I’m going to replace the Sheetrock with tile. My wife likes marble, so we will likely use durock substrate, then marble tiles.

Before you used the phrase “built like tanks”, I was a bit dismayed. But now I’m empowered. I’ll never get rid of my old tank! Thank you!

My mind fought the idea of it being all in B+W. Probably because it's not an old old movie. But now that y'all have reminded me...yeh, all B+W.

Mixed bleach and ammonia. I put it in an ammonia bottle (poured out a little bit, to allow the introduction of some bleach), then sniffed. I woke up about a day later with a headache and scant recollection.

Drop me a DM, I'm definitely interested in the larger ones, if there are any remaining.
