Don't know if this fits in the Climbing forum, but I know y'all hang out in here, so....
I've got a small mulberry in my backyard, and it's got a limb over the powerline into the house. Is that power company territory, or am I responsible for everything off the main line?
The next question is this....and this is prolly a bumb one, but I've never dealt with power. How friggin dangerous is this? I can get to the main limb down below the powerline, and take it out. What's gonna happen when that limb touches the powerline? It is going to conduct and kill me? I mean, I can make one cut and the whole limb is out, but I'll have to wrestle it a bit off the powerline. And right now there's no problem. But with as fast as this tree grew last summer just since I moved in, it's hard to say how long it will be before it's all over the powerline and causing issues. I want to take it out now before it leafs out.
I know this sounds really friggin dumb, but man I hate to call someone out here for one cut that I can make myself. People die doing dumb stuff that they didn't think was dumb at the time. But it just seems so easy to take out myself.
