We cut down a dying tree a couple of years ago and the city bylaws make you replace a tree if you've removed it. (If you're a private person anyway, developers seem to be able to mow down whole forests without any repercussions.)

So the inspector is coming in June to make sure it's in. There's a sizable fine if you don't do it, which I'll be stuck paying for. In the meantime, the old tree is still in sections back there so we need to get it out of the way.

There's a program to get a free tree, which Axe signed up for and now their name is on all the paperwork. I could potentially start over from scratch but I don't have the time.
