14. I wish my neighbour would let me take down his dead aspen

It's actually two houses down from me. Next good wind storm I'm betting it comes down on its own and takes out my next door neighbour's roof. I've talked to the guy a couple of times and he keeps saying "oh, my boys will take it down". I've never actually seen any "boys" onsite. The guy lives alone, is more curmudgeonly than me (which takes a bit of doing) and just plain doesn't "get it" on a number off issues. My next door neighbour is also having problems with him about his fence and overhanging live trees in the back.
