<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Boutte Tree came out on Friday and provided the attached estimate based on his assessment- walking around Chelsea place. Maryanne, there was a tree limb by your house not on our radar that he had concerns about.
Ron met with him and can fill you in tomorrow if you have time. The 2 K-ish estimate is for the 3 giant oaks by us. What do you all think is the next step? Do we need to have 2 of the companies who provided previous estimates (Maryanne, whoever you recall
was best/ most competitive)?come out?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
