its the new rage mate, there everywhere :msp_wink: but its secret

A few years back I was on a job in eastern New Jersey and saw one of those gals in a club one night that looked just like Paris Hilton! Not that I've ever been a fan of hers or anything but this gal was a spittin image of 'er. Couldn't speak a lick of english which was all the better! She sure knew what greenbacks were and I found out after I closed the place down that she was stayin in the same rat shack that I was :msp_biggrin: So the party went on :msp_sneaky:

I didn't even think that was possible

It certainly helps with green timber, hardly any bark and solid wood with no piping / dirt inside from termites or rot.
Would make a hell of a difference.

good one

 

[Stihlman441]

All done bar one.
Got started early Sat morning 6.30 am and had a real go,tops all burnt,bench saw stuff in piles,big logs in piles for blocking up,pic taken at 8.30 pm.
Beer time.

this is the tree with the pipe i cut a few weeks back it was good fun tell me how i did

 

[sun64]

Bezza mate, come up to Darwin. Most of the stringy barks are like that or worse.
The ghost gums are usually solid or almost solid.
Chains dont last that long with the bark and all the termite dirt inside.
Have had a couple of surprises cutting them down. Very hard to wedge when most of the guts is gone and they can split/ break off at times cause they are so hollow when cutting into them.

Bloody termites will eat the Ar#e outa your pants if you sit still for long enough.
All good though.
Cheers Wayne :msp_mellow:

Pics of piles of wood ready for sawbenching and blocking up.There is one tree left but its go a bee hive in it.:frown:
This is going to have to sit here for awhile start a new job Thursday,big gums around a swimming pool.:msp_ohmy:

Hmmm looks like you will be busy Andrew... good thing you have some trusty stihls aye


And the bush honey sounds good, cut a hole in the tree see what its like. Make sure you mix up some 25:1 to calm the bees... :hmm3grin2orange:

Can you find a local bee keeper who can take them?
Not sure if it's viable or even advisable there, but over here we need to look after our bees as best we can. The poor things are getting hammered on a number of fronts.

 

[Stihlman441]

Yar i spoke to a local bee bloke,but the hive is about 20 ' of the ground which makes it a bit hard for him to get to and the hive is inside the dead part of the tree so allso hard to get at.:frown:

 

[WidowMaker1]

we get that problem at home at times, we've pushed a few of them over instead of using the chainsaw.... and the bees just swarm off with the queen, tho mind you we hiked it out of there pretty quick in a High gear until everything settled
