How'd it go today?

[SkwerI]

I thought that this tree was tipping into Miriam's neighbor's yard the other day. Wet snow today.

A likely job for next week. Spoke with the neighbor who doesn't want a smashed newer fence. It's on a large alder branch about 5-7' out from the trunk. Behind the buildings, just the fence at risk.

There is another tipped, but self- supporting at present, alder adjacent to this one.

If the fence gets smashed, I assume the section can be replaced? So why not just remove the section first, then put it back up after the tree is down? It blows me away how hard most tree guys will work to avoid touching a $60 fence panel. A person put it up, a person can take it down and reinstall it.

I ordered a used r & p off ebay. Fingers crossed.

I'm going through what I call late stage Hindenburg, full of gas, and ready to explode. I went to my Dr Thursday, but got no answers. I hope it relieves before I shoot out a window like a bottle rocket.

Removing removable panels is no problem.

Crossed wires?

some fences just stand up out of habit.
i rather rig more and work less on shitty fences.

sometimes i remove a fence section but i try not to, maybe i‘m dump that way

Both Brian and Friedrich make valid points. If a fence is built in panels (many are not, but anyway) and it is all solid and in good repair then removing/replacing a panel or two can make sense. But if the whole shebang is weak, with materials that are in too poor condition to work with easily, then it may be a fool's errand to touch the thing.

Got lucky recently with a fence so rotten and covered in moss and lichen, you wonder how it can even stand. Actually it had one small section completely collapsed and of course missing and broken boards here and there. Well an 8ft long piece maybe 6" diameter bounced or fell over onto it without causing damage.

Luck can be good...when it is good .

Lookie what I found on my walk today! Best Made brand, pretty good condition too! Brother Wyatt has informed me that they are quite pricey, over $400.

 

[flushcut]

Nice find!

 

[Kaveman]

Indeed! I hadn't intended to walk that road today, but as soon as I left the drive way, something told me it would be good to walk up the hill and enjoy the view. As usual, listening to those weird whispers was a good idea.

Day off, might as well kill one. Levi and I had it down and cleaned up a tad longer than 2 hours. Little limb directing, speed lining and lowering. Chunk firewood till she'd fit. Deal with thebrush after I clear a mini path to the back gate. 'Nother wholetree to do anyway. Bring in the mini and crew for that mess.

Shipping has gone nuts, in addition to, or because of the fuel situation. $28 to ship two hoses and a handful of fittings. Still cheaper than getting the hoses locally, but that's pretty steep.

I got the new glow plug controller installed in my Kubota this morning. Starts up pretty quick now. Started sawing some rafters for a project. It's muddy.

I didn't get involved with family bonding time, but I did yell some about the trash tree species boss and son are working with. No bloody way imma get in the way of father-son bonding work. Was nice to watch for once though...

My day was nothing special but my wife’s day was pretty epic. She basically told her bosses boss, the big big big boss, everything wrong with the company and how to fix it. I can’t really go into detail about the company but damn I’m proud of her. She’ll probably get promoted for it.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Pneumonia. Antibiotics.

On the plus side, Kubota is very happy. Even with a bad battery connection, it started right up. It's been trouble for years.

I’ve been on gas company ROW clearing for a while now. Mud season is upon us. Nothing terrible so far. After a few weeks of tight quarter areas we finally got a nice felling group. I’m basically running the mini skid and keeping an eye on the boys. Being the voice of reason when they try to do something stupid and showing them some tricks

Wisdom of the FOG!

Plum tree on fence, final stages... prop trick...

The tree is down safely.

The panel that the tree overhung initial was not under it at the end. There's chicken wire at the bottom gap.
There's a 2 section top plate. There's a trim board over the fence boards over the brackets.

The panel that we hung the top over was the adjacent panel to the one originally overhung.
