    Wood types and tree care

    To constrain, you are asking about structural pruning of emergent trees in the natural pruning system, right? In that context, the explicit goal of pruning in <4" diameter wood is to avoid/lessen pruning damage in heartwood. This is a "Gilmanism" that is present in the ANSI A300 (Part 1)-2019...

I wish you the best of what her death can provide - all that is good, all that endures beyond the coffin that you honored...

    2nd Ditch Witch roller bearing failure

    You're using the old housing and replacing bearings, right? I was advised against that by my local DW mechanic, who did not seem to be price gouging when he said it. He noted that the success of repairing rollers was uneven so they had gone away from it.

    I miss posting pictures on Treebuzz

    I can interact with the triple vertical dots on the post reply dialog box and that's it - no pictures, no links, no bold, no italocs, etc. The three dots drop down menus that I cannot interact with. I tap each icon with my thumb and it does not respond. It's like Balin in Moria with orcs...

    Donaghy's cougar rope

    Try honey brothers for the orange. They ship to the states. The orange is a bit different than the blue for some reason.

    Pull Rope Height - what is optimal?

    I try to avoid: 1.) Putting the rope below the center of gravity, to avoid yanking the bottom out if the hinge has to be thin or otherwise weak. 2.) Putting the rope so high that the top breaks. 3.) Putting the rope so high that I loose a bit of directional control that I get from the...

    Gas blowers banned in Ann Arbor Mi

    I think the gas/lithium blower issue will have solved itself in 4 years. Who wants to go on record saying that they'll still be using a gas blower in 4 years? We can time stamp this sh*t and check back.

    Truck canopy/topper vs tonneau cover

    I'm currently working with a tonneau cover on a class 1 2x4 Silverado pickup. Pickup trucks are status symbols - they are not built for work. By the time a slideout is installed in a bed with tonneau cover you've lost half your volume. My traffic cones are too tall, on their side. If you have...
