[Everyone] Branch removal services?

Thu Jan 18 01:29:59 UTC 2024

It seems time is a critical factor here. So: if no one registers opposition
we should go ahead and try to get estimates for work to be done. Estimates
should be brought back to us to consider.

Sara seems to be volunteering to do duty around this matter. Maryann, I
assume you will want to be involved in doing research/getting estimates.
You two can constitute a committee of sorts.

I hope this is an acceptable procedure or arrangement.
