Chelle,
What a shame about the trees. Thank goodness the one endangering your safety is down. Isn't it amazing what those tree experts can do? Not a job I would want to ever take on - scares the heck out of me just watching them at those heights. I know exactly what you are dealing with. Had a similar issue with a very large oak tree close to the house that was partially uprooted last summer during a severe storm. It didn't fall on the house but was leaning precariously over it. Too risky to take down ourselves. The tree experts brought in a crane to assist. Amazing... Good luck with the rest of the trees - sounds like you will be busy! Don't know if this is an option for you, but they brought in a chipper for our job. We kept the main trunk for firewood and chipped the limbs. I was surprised at how much it made - about a dump truck load. We used the chips for a new walking path. I was happy to have the path and they were happy they didn't have to haul it away LOL.
