"Treeson" (Yes, it's supposed to be a play on words)

Last summer Justin and I decided that we wanted to get a couple of trees cut down in our back yard.  Both trees are maples, quite large, and growing way too close to our storage shed (not to mention that the one tree has limbs and branches hanging over about 3 of our neighbors' yards, but I digress).  Last summer we did not have the funds to pay for this particular bit of work to be done, so we decided that when we got our income tax money back the next spring, we would take care of the renegade trees.  The tax return should (hopefully) be deposited in my ever-dwindling checking account very soon, so I decided to get on the schtick and start looking into getting rid of the trees. This past weekend I started looking up some tree removal companies so that I could call them and get some estimates for getting those trees taken down.  I placed an online request for an estimate with a well-known tree removal/landscape/etc. business in the Northeast Ohio area where we live.  The online request sheet claimed that they would contact us soon so that we could get said estimate into our hot little hands. 
My husband stayed home from work this past Wednesday because our babysitter had a dentist appointment (along with her three kids) and they had to leave their house by 3:15 P.M.  There is no way that is physically possible that either he or I could have McKenna picked up by that time, so he took the day off.  At some point during the day he noticed a car parked in our driveway.  Turns out that it was an employee of the aforementioned Cadillac of tree removal/landscaping/etc. company and that he was there checking out the trees that we would like to have removed.  Umm, what happened to contacting us first?  Interesting that the company just sends someone out to your house to make an estimate.
To wrap this tale up, the employee quoted a price of $3200 to remove both trees.  Screw that.  For that price, those damn trees can stay up.  Back to the drawing board of calling some other local, smaller, personally run tree removal companies that will take the trees down for a much lower rate (hopefully).
