I did a loan for a woman that owned a Christmas tree lot, she made all her money in Nov and Dec, and didn't work the rest of the year.

Years ago- had a tree fall in my backyard - and crushed a swing set for my kids who were young back then.

I find it funny when the rich people of Barton Hills, Hyde Park, etc whine about affordability while at the same time fighting tooth-and-nail against multi-family in their neighborhood, as they tear down their own house to put up some huge ugly mcmansion (and pay the fines to cut down a few "heritage" trees along the way).

Ahhhh, the trees..yes beautiful trees with destructive roots on sewer lines. 

Tenant agrees to pay for clearing the drains of any and all stoppages except those, which the plumber who is called to clear the stoppage will attest to in writing, were caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, or a result of weather.Tenant agrees to keep on hand and properly use a plunger when necessary to unclog drains and to prevent water overflow from toilet, sinks and bathtub.

Some take the time to be sure that the trees you see at the back of the lot and the beautiful view that is there before you build, stay long after you build.

Is Illinois a big tree hugger state ?

However, we can see the light through the trees and just cannot afford to stay.

(looking at Wave)I can help with good contractors (roofing, tree removal, driveway all done in last weeks)

I think the family tree of these cats had branches like a telephone pole if you know what I mean.They vomited frequently and their poop was liquid.
