I've called to get this done numerous times with no response, so I gave up. A Gulf Power employee told us not to attempt to cut the limbs back ourselves because they are in the lines, so I guess we'll just keep waiting. Have you cut the orange truck tree service out of the budget and replaced them with drones? If so, can you tie a chain saw on them and send 'em up. Sorry G.P., I.m not trying to be unfair, I just want these tree limbs cut out of the lines so they won't spark during high winds or storms.
