    TX governor wants to stop tree protection ordinances

    If trees are so obviously beneficial from a cost standpoint, then there should be no reason for TPOs. The reason TPOs exist, is to force people to spend money to maintain them vs. remove them (which is likely the most cost effective route). Everyone should question a law that forces people to...

    I agree. I can start to see it forming as soon as I pull out the core. You can see a hint of it in Samson Predator

    I observed the same with larger eyes on Vortex. I don't notice the kink on tight eyes. Someone here pointed out the cover strands are pulled tight for the bury and if you follow them around the other side, you can see that is where the kink forms. I don't think that is what people refer to as...

    TX governor wants to stop tree protection ordinances

    My point is that you cannot put actual dollar amount on the benefits of a standard publicly owned tree in a populated area. Looking at a tree/sitting under a tree vs a shade structure is worth different amounts of money to different people. Erosion control/shade/ etc could all be done via...

    TX governor wants to stop tree protection ordinances

    Governments/bureaucracies do not have rights...... at least not in the USA. Individuals (and property owners) do. I postulate the $5 benefit for every dollar spent you mentioned is pulled out of thin air.....would like to be shown that I am wrong. Anything that requires county/city workers to...

    TX governor wants to stop tree protection ordinances

    I agree with Abbott on this and many other things. IMO, he has been the best governor TX has had in a long long time. You can cut down the trees as long as you pay money to some bureaucracy? Sure, that is is "conservation". If people that want to encourage property owners to keep and maintain...

    Poison ivy - making the tree safe for my daughter

    You could try a pressure washer or just remove tree and build a platform for her to use. I do know that I have some firewood with the "fuzz" on it and will get a reaction from it. Wood has been cut and split for 2 years. That is not something I would want to expose a kid to on a regular basis.

    Ice and ice makers

    What is cheap? The challenge with ice makers is keeping them sanitary/ensuring proper ice etiquette is followed. Potable vs non potable is also a consideration.

    For my apprentice...

    I have been enjoying the videos on youtube. Nice articles. I still struggle to file chains well. I took it on as a challenge a few years ago, and my motivation comes and goes. BobL on AS has some outstanding posts about filing rakers progressively. There are a lot of good threads there...

    Dealer Service Problems

    I would try to fix it yourself or sell it parts saw/part it out on eBay. With parts and $50/hr shop rate coupled with questionable result would prevent me paying the dealer to attempt a repair. Other option is to find a saw builder/modifier and have them port the new top end/reassemble. Aside...

    As the videos TC posted illustrate, its not just Syria, the stated objective is to take over the world via birthrate, then culturally, then politically. Violence does wonders to reduce the birth rate of target nations as well. Aside from Jefferson's approach, It is a solvable problem, at least...

    Jefferson tried that first.... so have we. Their answer has not changed, neither should our response to their violence against us.

    I think Trump should deal with the islamic terrorists the same way Jefferson did..... we enjoyed almost 200 trouble free years after that. TC is on point with his comments on what is going on it Europe and the end game. Imams announced this strategy decades ago and we are starting to realize...

    That helps but would also watch a video if you make one :). What type of splice did you do? Tree Stuff only sells it with sewn eyes.

    Looks good Justin. Was thinking about how I would tackle something like this just the other day. Will have to just give it a try and see how it works. What were your anchor and pull points for the second splice burry?
