Subdeacon Joe Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Grounds crew was trimming a tree near our car port. A limb that they cut bounced about 15 feet. Getting a "crash wrap" put on and the glass replaced Tuesday. The management will pick up the cost. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Not going to comment about the EV part, I’m all about you doing your own thing. However, I must point out the irony of a Leaf being damaged by a tree. 3 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grumbled about that, so we agreed that I would find a place, he would pay. I called around, got a quote about $150 under what he had gotten, but still Tuesday, but they could put that wrap on today for free. Got that done, stopped by the management office, showed him the quote, and the photo, he gave me cash+$50. Cheaper than going through his insurance. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Glad that was all that was damaged. Couple years back a tree cutting service underestimated a tree height and when it came down, hit neighbors new 150, bounced and got his wife's KIA also. Both were totaled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll plead circumstances. I was too busy dealing with the park management, finding someone to fix it, and dealing with getting the wrap and the quote (my OP was from the shop while waiting for the crash wrap to be put on) to let my mind wander in that direction. That's my story and I'm not going to change it. Edited March 3 by Subdeacon Joe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Joe, I truly think the tree spirits don’t think your Leaf is “green” enough. Perhaps some new paint? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Are the grounds crew guys professional tree trimmers? Any of the named Bubba. There’s really no excuse for that. An arborist and crew would take everything into account and absolutely leave no chance of an accident. Even if they had to take things down in 1 foot chunks. I earned that whenI worked for a landscaper decades ago. Thank goodness it was only property damage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 That’s the problem!! NO BUBBA!!

sassnetguy50 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 @Subdeacon Joe The Leaf rear glass is probably not common enough. The glass might be in the regional instead of local warehouse, making Tuesday morning the soonest they can get the glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with the shop that told me that they could put the wrap on today at no cost. I did NOT want to have to rig something up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
