    Climbers for Christ

    I'm saying we're all unworthy, but it's there for us anyway. Drugs and prison don't make bad people in my opinion.

    Anyone been hit by a throw weight?

    Baldcypresses tend to hang them up most for me. I've just untie between throws every time with those. I did hit my own truck with one. It left a very obvious dent in the hood. I've always had this rule of not parking where the tree I'm removing could fall on it, but that day added the...

    Climbers for Christ

    I've never been in jail, murdered anyone, or even done drugs. Most would say I'm a "good" person, but I'm prideful, greedy and selfish. It's a conscious effort for me to be compassionate and caring towards others. The fact that there is even a way to be deemed perfect and blameless and worthy of...

    Fruit tree sources?

    Womack Nursery has always been good with me. It's in Texas, so their shipping season is probably gone. They usually sell out of their heavy hitting items by February.

    Tree in Texas

    Easy now...I meant to say where IN Texas. There's not many places better than Texas. That's why they call it God's country you know.

    Too late to prune oak?

    In Texas, we have the rules not to prune oaks between February and June as it is the time when the nitidulid beetles and fungal mats are most likely to cross paths. We have those wild weather swings too, so in practice the likelihood for a new infection happens year round and has been...

    Forrest. He likes people more than dogs, and I like dogs more than people, so it works out.

    Pole saw blade replacement

    Perhaps a better quality blade will shorten the time between sharpening too...and less abuse on the saw. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement.

    Pole saw blade replacement

    It was pretty crappy. I like the idea of a wood working saw of some kind. They were some skinny leaner's that had never been pruned. Most of the target pruning was 12'-18'. I do get kind of stingy with the powered pole saws because the guys will start using it every time and settling for...

    Pole saw blade replacement

    I need to get better at cleaning the gunk out of the teeth, I'll try the simple green. I can't bring myself to sharpen the blades yet...hand filing chainsaws for hours is therapeutic though. The instances of burning through a blade in a week was on some good sized dead in lots of coastal live...

    Pole saw blade replacement

    At what point are y'all replacing your pole saw blades? I'm sure everyone has their different limits based on what they're cutting. Usually when I start peeling the branch collar with my last stroke, it's time for a new blade. We have spurts where we may prune solely with pole saws for weeks...

    spray gun

    I've used this one quite a bit. https://www.solutionsstores.com/udor-turbine-gun#156=966 It puts out a lot of product and can reach higher than the jd9. It too met it's demise after an employee drug it down the road. I haven't found a need to replace it since the existing jd9 gets everything I...

    Monterrey Oak bark peeling

    I'm a couple hours west of you, and after that reallly hard freeze last year, we saw a lot of freeze cracks in our Monterreys. It's hard to see the scale, but there's probably more going on than just that, but a likely contributor with that white fungus in the furrows. That seemed to be on every...

    Getting commercial work.

    I don't see any problem cold calling a commercial client when there is an obvious need, such as a stone dead tree in there parking lot. One business to another, during the work day, with a specific solution to the obvious problem isn't spam. I have had a lot of success with sending a quick but...
