Well, you were well fed, so I suppose you should do something today.  Me on the other hand...  ;)

Saw this story earlier this morning. Quite shocking... he was 29

Former Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson died due to catastrophic organ failure on Monday night, according to multiple reports.

Pour it over those roots and it will crack again wire will just keep it from totally falling apart when it cracks

btw - the large root ball in the middle will not be in the pour. I will freeform around it and throw a bag of top soil on it so they can place a potted plant on it. ha.

Yeah. Figured that when I saw the cleanout. She probably had a trip hazard complaint and is just trying to get within compliance. You will probably have an annual project until they finally add up all the repair bills... and they still may not care.

I suggested cutting the trees down, renting an excavator, digging out the roots, etc. she could just fill it with dirt and plant grass. I'm just hired help and cheap labor.

I can understand that. My luck would be that I did want to remove the trees, but they were somehow protected and/or needed a certified CoE arborist to come out and say "you need x, y and z before you can remove it".
