I'm in hiding

Argentina and Mrs Argentina bug us constantly about our trees.

We have two trees in our front yard that she calls "dirty trees". Not in the naughty way, in the filth kind of way. And in her defense, she is right, they are annoying and disgusting. I think they are locust trees (if there is such a thing?). Anyway, they have been bothering us literally since the day we moved in to have then taken out. They don't like how all the dirty nasty little leaves get in their yard and they don't like that the shallow roots have "destroyed" their driveway.
Of course, they make no effort to assist in the payment for said removal.

Anyway, I pulled into my driveway after work, and there is a work type truck in their driveway, and I see that there is someone cutting their trees and removing the debris. Then I see Mrs Argentina using the mans clippers to cut something. She is kind of picky, and my guess was it wasn't to her liking. Anyway, I rushed in the garage and shut the door as quickly as possible before she found me to complain about our trees.

They really are nice people, really.

Locust is really good wood for fence posts and things - it resists rot quite well. It might make decent firewood too. You might try posting something on Craigslist to see if anyone wants to come remove your trees for free in exchange for the wood. I'm assuming they are not terribly huge though.
