Its a cool family tree with Robin coming from Ron Legrand.

One of my rentals has a tree that the branches are brushing on the neighbors roof.

I have realized that you are just going to continue to teas me and that is fine. 

For example, my lease states "Tenant shall be charged for repair of drain blockages or stoppages, unless caused by defective plumbing parts or tree roots invading sewer lines."

I once paid a framing crew a 24 pack and a Hot N Ready to trim some huge tree limbs lol.

You can't trim a tree here in Tampa without paying for a permit, having the inspector give you permission to trim and having him come back when the work is done.

Under 10 feet away in the other direction and there's a tree.

According to your first post, there's a "gap in a doorway" allowing pests inside, her a/c bill was jacked up because you "took too long" to fix the a/c, and you do a poor job of maintaining the property, because she's forced to look at an "eyesore" tree stump in the yard.

It has changed, though not in the beautiful way that the yard in which we planted 10 trees over 15 years ago has been transformed.

In most parts of the world this is the case, however I don't have any nearby trees or dust storms to worry about.The carport idea is a winner.
