I'm trialing a new phone and service for my home internet, and so far it's working out pretty well. It's Visible from Verizon. You get unlimited everything(hotspot's capped at 10Mbs) for $45 a la carte, or $395/yr if you prepay(prices are taxes and everything included). The hotspot's noticeably...

Great info. Thanks Stephen!

You're not doing that whole hill are you?

Kiln dried fuggen stone hard oak mixed with 2 years of new brush growth. Mixed with barb wire fence. Mixed with rocks and bolders. So you slash your way in to clear your ground. Brush cutters, loppers and chainsaws. Keep fire suppression kit close by. Cut sections of fence you can find. Some...

Burnt trees

...population of survivors. So even splittin counts. Those bugs are horrible fliers. Cant fly far. Dont prune any pines around them in weather over 72* F. If you have to, use sealer on the wounds. The turpine from cuts and breaks is a dinner bell. Watch the root crown for turpintine beetle as...

What kinda work?

Chipping does decrease the population. But there will be survivors. Black plastic tarp will help "cook" the little buggers

Trying to figure it out. I'm on a 1ac suburban lot, so disposal by burning is problematic. Trucking it out seems irresponsible. A UMD page says this... "Trees that are to be used for firewood should be striped of the bark, or tarp the logs with the bark left on. Sprayed logs should not be used...

Spotty rain and even marble sized hail. A balmy 67° when not dribbling. In all, a beautiful day in the Arizona high country.

I am far from a splicing expert and have only a little personal hands-on experience with the art and craft of it. But I have looked closely at a very large number of splices in my 5 decades of rope work, by both pros and amateurs. I see nothing at all to give me the slightest doubts about...

Nah, looks good.

I really don't know the "proper" answer John, but among my tree peeps here in the northwestern Cascades, the prevailing opinion seems to be that if the beetles are at sufficiently high population numbers to cause mortality in seemingly healthy specimens, especially in very short time frames...

Ok, I think this is probably my last question regarding this tree. Are there any special considerations to take into account for removal? Is a beetle killed tree weird in any way, or is it just a dead pine with dead pine characteristics? Also, should anything special be done with the debris...

Now that the magnifying lamp is functional, it is very handy for reading the assembly instructions, which I couldn't read even with my cheaters on.:lol:
