You may want to inquire with the health authority? And local building codes? It definitely is a mandatory thing here. There is also the water protection act.
I’m going to say this right now so you don’t kill yourself. If you are not 100 percent proficient with a saw on the ground, do NOT take it into the tree! And I don’t mean starting it. I mean how to properly make cuts- all of them. And the consequences of making a bad one! Do not just start in...
You should definitely NOT be liable for any costs incurred because of that illegally abandoned septic tank. The same applies to abandoned oil tanks the law says they need to be removed! There is no excuse for that! It being there endangered your life and the environment.
Come to think of it, that tank is illegal if it has been abandoned. Around these parts, if any upgrade is done the old field and the tank are to be removed! Environment Canada would have something to say about that find!
ropes are funny that way, damage happens collectively and one day the rope just lets go. I have snapped some big ropes seemingly easy, because they were old and put out of service and used as utility rope that got abused.
Yes that’s precisely my point. The idea of professional rigging in any situation is to never exceed the maximum safe working load in any part of the equipment. In fact when rigging buildings for light shows and hanging trusses, they have specific rules that at first don’t seem to make sense but...
I am getting old and fat so I am looking forward to reducing my gear weight in tree. I have always used large impact blocks. So a safeblock will be a welcome change.
I have no experience with the safeblock to be honest. I just ordered one and all the stuff to splice it together and stuff for ring slings. And a basket fid. I don’t really know how to do the work yet so I will be instructed by someone who knows how to do it correctly. Unfortunately I live in an...
We are seeing people buy 20 acre parcels and applying for building permits, they log the entire property to the lot lines and sell the empty lot or sit on it for years because it’s too ugly to sell. I fucken hate that shit. Sorry for my language.
Another good reason I left logging. My kids call it the Oncelers, I don’t really like some of the practices that are still being used. Capitalism is ugly at its core.
The reason I ask, is because most of the typical block tie in methods won’t reduce overall capacity below 50 percent. By rights, that’s still much greater capacity than the safe work load limit. Correct me please if I misunderstand something here.
