Oh, and you can't just park a fifth wheel or motor home on your land and call it done.

God awful

Geeze, I'm liking Wrangell more and more based on that Stephen.

F uck that! Sounds like gentrification to me. Tax and code the working class out of their lands so the rich can take over.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Pretty much Rajan. And the state is pushing local goverments to apply code violation fines. They are using drones and neighbor complaints to look at the property with out warrant and fine people right out of their land under the guise of trying to control pot grows. Some places up here wont pass current codes since they are old and such. Hell, well casing was not required till 1983. Out houses went out in the 70s. Now they want permits for even a shipping container pad.
Its an end round the prop 13 that keeps our taxes down on property. Just sieze it. Resale and revalue more revenue

The drones peeking at property suck, they are starting to appear here too.

I have a no fly zone rule. Trap practice and all that..

The Mckinney Fire in the Siskiyous is a big, out of control beast. It started Friday afternoon at 3 acres and this morning it's 55,493 acres, with 5 other significant fires around it. Worse case scenario is for all 6 fires to merge and become a complex. 1000's evacuated, reported deaths, and an unknown number of homes gone. It's a nightmare fire and getting worse. The last 4 days they've had severe dry lightning in the area, igniting even more fires, and the lightning keeps the planes on the ground. The Forest Service and Cal Fire are struggling to keep up. Terrible situation. Really worried about the friends we have in that area.

Our home lost count went up to 124 today

Looked like Willie was helping folks he knew at one of the fire on his Facebook.

 

[Burnham]

That sounds just like our friend Willie.

 

[Bermy]

Shit that's bad Mrs B.
That's a megafire, happened here in 2019-20

An interesting concept about replacing housing and the issues surround the lack of housing in our area touched on.

Simple and neat, Good concept. But no utility, washer, drier or out-buildings. Extras, I guess.

Working in the fire zone this week.
Saw smoke today and HO called it in. CDF came out and squelched it. Burning down in the roots, or what is left of them.
This fire ran down his hill and left scorched earth. Down hill and did not stop there.

 

[gf beranek]

Perfect technique on the stump, Stephen.

Up against nature what can a man do?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Thanks Gerry. Not much holding wood left and a head lean at the cedar, shop and tractor. Had the mini Pull it off angle to the desired lay and cut the back till she went.
Poplars... bleagh.
I dont usually skip my face cut, but when I do...

 

[stig]

You just went one better that ol' Murph's micro notches.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Failed intentional barber chair ....

 

[Bermy]

Put it on youtube as a the secret never before seen outside the box lateral thinking awesome cut

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Fi, I feel my one Murphy Tribute video was more than plenty in my career...

 

[Bodean]

You guys miss him.

 

[stig]

Not the least bit, honestly.
Poking fun at the Murphadite is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Stephen's last post made me laugh a lot, though, barrel or not.
