I'm waiting until tomorrow to see if the dudes show up then engaging.
Trying to give a little benefit of the doubt here because I was told his son is in the hospital. Still... Not sure how that affects these guys showing up.

Could be legit. I've known a lot of guys in the trades and I can't imagine any of them being willing to tell someone that they 'aren't doing well emotionally', if they're just making shit up. That's be a weird excuse to choose if you're just picking an excuse, but if it's true he might just be leveling with you. That ranks right up there with some MAGA redneck admitting he voted for Hillary.
And you were told his son was in the hospital?
Shit happens but /shrug

If you honestly think he's in some kind of distress it might be generous to have a man-to-man talk (best in person, at the very least voice, not text), tell him you're about to pull the trigger on lawyers, and give him a final hard stop chance to explain to your satisfaction and/or end the relationship amicably. But bottom line, you've paid for work that's not done and have to be able to get in and out of your house.

once again i have my tree fall on my neighbor
it looks worse than what it is, surprisingly nothing is damaged? there might be a broken window, can't see, pretty much 1/3 of the trunk split off
it looks healthy?
and there was like zero wind, just plop
been calling around, what the estimate on this job? like 800+?

That would be a couple thousand in my area, easily.
Cleanup and check of the OG tree + up selling you on removing the entire tree.
After dealing with my live oaks, I pay for those removals, last I payed to have some branches picked up and shredded was about 400 and that was 1/4 or less of what that is and didn't involve much in the way of breaking things down.

Live oak is a whole other level of stupid to deal with though

I'd call that a DIY if it's already on the ground and there's no risk of doing further property damage, unless you aren't really comfortable with a chainsaw. I'd definitely want something bigger than the smallish one I have for that much tree and I'd also want lumberjack chaps.

Bigger problem is where to put it. That's a shitload of volume if you don't have a big chipper.

haha the only thing that makes me balk at that is my area has you bundle your green waste thats tree branches and stuff, thats like 20 bundles at 3 foot a bundle.
75% of the value is hauling off debris, unless you have a property big enough to hide a giant brush pile. With two houses in the same frame, I doubt it.

That is an aspect I hadn't thought about and probably why the removal cost seemed so high to me since I can just stack it out of the way until it's dry enough to burn.
