I can see why you want to tear down those trees. That's a helluva view in your backyard.
You can't tell in that pic, but I can see Long Island Sound and part of Long Island from my yard. It is really cool. I only have 1 tree left that really needs to go, but it's on town conservation land and I cam close to geting in trouble already. The fine is something like $50 per square inch of tree and it's about a 36" diam tree that needs killin, so the fine would be $204,000. It can stay for now.
