@ curious Shannon what do you use for your guide material. I use a product called phenolic it’s just looks like a pc of 1” shaft stock then I get it cut up and turned down on one side with a lathe so it fits in the hole
There was a man out in Baton, not too long ago, when his house was new, planted Leland Cyprus or cedar or something as a buffer from Connelly Springs Road and his neighbors, I presume, all around his lot. Well, The tree grew quickly, tall, full and strong, and soon his house wasn't even visible from the road. He had achieved his goal. Yes? Well maybe no! On Sept 27, 2024 Helene came along and his trees got in her way. The trees were no match for Helene's wrath and all of them fell, like dominos except for a few in one corner. None of them broke, all were uprooted. The front row, parallel to Connelly Springs all fell into the power, phone and cable lines along with their poles and transformers. Amongst all the carnage sits his house now, from all appearances still new, with a clear view of Connelly Springs Road and its accompanying sounds, and with three or four of these trees still standing in the far back corner as a reminder of why we should learn to live with nature instead of bucking up in its face. All that remains of the destruction now is a series of holes around the man's property with only three or four containing anything. Even if the man in Baton didn't learn a lesson from this, I did! Merry Christmas! Ed
@@templehillsawmill1748 People plant those trees too close together so that they can't grow a proper root system. Once they start to block the other's sunlight the lower limbs start to die back. If people would plant them twice as far apart and cut them off at about ten feet they would spread and fill in the gaps.
Merry Christmas Shannon. Have a great holiday
Thank you and Merry Christmas, Marc

@papaw5405 Those types of trees act as a giant sail. Merry Christmas

wood on dirt isn't much good for support in my book. but merry Christmas
@@John-z2d4o Merry Christmas, John
It's a cheap way to find out if that is the problem. If it fixes it, Mr. Burns will probably replace the wood with a steel or concrete pillar
