whadja do today?

[treebilly]

Well scrap ain't worth crap right now, but with a few well placed cuts it'll fit in the bed of a pickup and haul it away.


Had a great day here. Mid to low 20's , sun, and no wind. Big white oaks to remove with lots of rigging. Couldn't ask for a better day in January.
I'll rephrase that, it was a beautiful day

Customer hauled ass 10 minutes before we finished today. I think she spotted the invoice on the dash of my truck. She had hung around for the past three days like a stray tomcat until then.

Classic move.

Its a fiberglass boat. I don't know where to take that besides somewhere there is a fee and at least a half a day each run. If I am going to spend any money I rather spend it and not do the hauling. Pretty sure I can get a 20 or 30 yard container for around 400 and just be done with it.

I am getting nervous because I called the guy with the bridge dimensions and his phone keeps ringing. The ad is still up. It the CL crapshoot.

I have a couple other trailers on line as well if this don't go through. I am real excited about getting my yard organized.

Smash it up and light it up. It's on a farm so it should be a legal burn. Just toss a few bales of loose hay on it. Hell all horses do is burn hay anyhow

I don't think I love punishment but I seem to get a lot of it. On top of the old chick that hauled ass I finally got a credit card number this morning from this ******* I have been
chasing around here since the first of the month trying to get paid on a $1,550 + tax invoice. Ran it about an hour ago...declined. This residential stuff is fun, Jeff.

Keep running it with a smaller and smaller number till it goes through so you atleast get something. Then send her a new bill

Trailer came in this evening and boy musty ain't the word!

The guy finally called this morning saying he was at work at would later check to see if the camper would come out of the snow and he wanted to make a trail run all the way down here. I told him I checked the roads into my place from the main roads and thought it looked doable. Hell, its gonna stay snowed up for a awhile now anyway, might even get worse. I was like: Whatever. I mean if felt he wanted to make the extra trip then let him make it.

So he said he was planning to bring the camper down Sunday aroung 3pm. A few hours ago I got done pushing back bergs at the school pro-bono and was warming up to the woodstove. I was starting to nod when I realized the person who had been calling and not leaving messages was this camper guy. I didn't recognize the number because it wasn't the same as the one he gave me nor did he leave a message.

He had been calling because he was trying to turn around with the camper at some tiny little snowed in country intersection on a hill in the middle of nowhere in the dark. There was a sign for the low bridge which made him turn around and go back. There was nowhere for him to put the thing with the snow mounds everywhere.

But if he did leave a message I could have quickly met his ass before he got all riled up and had to turn around. There was a sign for a low bridge but my road is just before that. I told him about the bridge and brought him in through the back just on the other side of the covered bridge. Which had road signs that said 9'4" and signs on the bridge that say 10 FEET. I thought my truck was 9' 6" and been driving over it for a little bit now. Just a little wooden covered bridge. No posted weight limit, just height.


I think he was something of spaz. It was pitch black up at the horse farm and it was cold as ****. I was glad to see him go. I slammed the door to my new funky old trailer shut and went home. I will go back with a wrecking bar and dumpster on Monday.


I have been think about how I am going to redecorate. Curtains? Burn them nasty things. I am going to update the spice rack with a screwdriver holder. Line the front window bay shelf with 5 gallon fuel cans. Tear out the carpets and install contemporary 3/4" plywood with joints centered over frame cross members. Same for the countertop and lined with cardboard to soak up the oil from the saws. Not sure where I am going to cut the double doors in. Going to freshen up the bathroom ( or what used to be the bathroom) with a 55 gallon drum to hold the rakes. I might as well haul this 25 foot camper from 1983 around to the jobs.

I really don't think its appropriate to burn fiberglass. I'd be a little afraid of getting something like that going. I don't think there is an easy way out on this one but I have clearance to get rid of it.

I asked the owner of the farm what was up with the boat, she asked me if I wanted it, I was like" Sure, I'll keep it up here!"

She didn't get it, but she doesn't want to pay a cent to get rid of it. I have cut up fiberglass with a chainsaw before. Works damn good. I also need to make cut with a sawzall in places there might be metal but I think the whole carcass ain't nothing but glass and foam. That shouldn't hurt the saw. Hope I don't need a very big one.

That is ****ing nuts! The guy did strike me as advantageous among other things. He really made a name for himself in his first few years.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

Nothing going on here but starting to gut that nasty trailer. I won't go into details but I have it sort of leveled on its own jacks and hogged out a little space for the rock salt, tree gear and gas cans using about a third of the space. I should be able to gut the rest and get the splitter, mower and mini in as well.


Except for my first few years I kept all my gear and equipment at my house which I outgrew years ago, it will be weird sleeping and knowing my saws are off in some camper in the middle of nowhere. It will be nice to be around my house without any work related objects in the way.

And what was that address sir?

Removed a Pin Oak.
Anyone know what this is? Can't find a definitive answer in my books. Nothing on the main stems, trunk, or roots.
