I noticed the same, @Brandon , any word on what happened?

Three years ago, I did some formative pruning on these larches. I think it turned out pretty well!)

Been here since 2015. My first Halloween I bought a couple decorations including a pumpkin with a motion sensor along with a couple bags of candy. Didn't have a single trick-or-treater. Haven't bothered with it since.

All our kids are in town proper trunk or treating the court house and the little town streets. Later, the Tortured Orchard will draw the older kids and adults

IG, sorta

We’ve had about 60 so far - from young enough they needed help up and down the front steps to some we know are 16/17 - “as long as they have a costume on they get candy” is our rule. A few years ago the doorbell rang late, and there stood four college-aged students without costumes. But one...

Here, it is far enough between houses, usually with long and dark driveways through the woods, that most folks haul their kidlets to town and hit the neighborhoods. We have occasionally had children of the appropriate age live nearby, and it always has been sort of a planned event for them to...

Was offline this morning as well, up again this late afternoon. Anyone know what's up? @lumberjack ?

Best to put a beam on top and bottom of the stack... continue to evenly tighten straps as they stretch and wood shrinks. You can easily move a stack that's tightly strapped.

Yes that's correct. To prevent warping during the drying process.

Strapping it tight to prevent warping? Never heard of that.

I know, but they are not my planks. The home owner is going up there tomorrow. They are going to separate with 2x1’s between planks and then about 5 ratchet strap per log. I did offer to do it for them but they said they had materials and straps.

Should have stickered the stacks to promote drying and prevent rot. Those are the perfect environment for fungus as they sit.

Today went well. Removed three big ass clump river birch trees. Finished around two. Did some office stuff and now I’m getting ready to go trick or treating with the kids. They can walk while the wife and I drive the side by side around.

I just put a sign in my yard that says we’re at the neighbors. I’m a bit out of the way for the progression of trick or treaters. Just easier to put a candy bowl at the neighbors. Also my patio fire pit and my firewood are up there right now. Trick or treat here is always on Halloween and at...

Few trees probably grow in that climate. Poplars might be cold hardy.

Makes sense, thanks.

it‘s kind of ironic that the tree‘s that can’t cope with larger cut‘s well get hammered alot. we often reduce them and i try my best to make proper reduction cuts. i‘m not saying i never do pollarding but i definitly prefer to leave a tree or a stump behind and not a hat-rack.

Ditto

Offline for me all of yesterday and last evening.
