What would you do-tree cutting?

Question

My neighbor wanted wood out of a tree on my property.  He was negligent and didn't rope it off, nor put the bucket of the tractor on it like I was led to believe they were going to do.  The tree fell on my house.  I asked hired hand what he thought was fair for pay,. and he refused.  Now neighbor is bad mouthing me because I didn't pay.  Would you sue for repair for house?  They didn't have a permit either.  We live in Georgia-

I'm really sad that now I've lost a friend because they made a mistake.  Approximately $1200 in materials alone in damage to my house and I have a $1000 deductible.

Friend or not friend they screwed up.  A friend would have paid.  Send them a bill for the repairs, send it certified even if they live next door.  When they pick it up you will have proof that it was delivered.  Hopefully you have spoken with them about this before you send the letter.  You could take them to small claims court but that does not guarantee that they will pay.  Also contact the city you live in and report this.
Good luck.
