  • Three full days after Hurricane Helene. We finally get the landfill open. Power surge messes up our Bartlett controller in the greenhouse at Grass Roots Garden Center. We use the John Deere 724 front end loader to take down some trees. #hurricanecleanup #heavyequipment #landfill

    Been there, hurricane Michael. 41 trees down in my yard cut ever one up myself at 70 years old. I feel for all in this disaster. Restored my house myself but it took living in motorhome for eight months. Keep yr chin up and trust in God.

    You are lucky to have Aaron, nice to see a young man with common sense and a sense of humor. One of the problems with posting things on facebook is that not everyone has a facebook account ( like me) I’m nearly 70 and barely computer literate.
    I was stressed beyond belief once and a good friend sat me down and said “this to will pass”
    These are the things that we will sit around the fire and laugh about years from now, just do what you can, pay attention to the details and the big problems will handle them selves. You have surrounded yourself with good people, let them do what they do and you will come out of this on top.

      A lot of people don't like to burn pine, because it's so resinous, it can cause fires in fireplace chimneys. I'd like to see it used for lumber, but it's likely they have a glut of it all over the southeast, and picking up two or three trees here and there isn't economical. I burn some pine, but it's mixed in a little at a time with oak for the fireplace. Makes good kindling to get the fire started. I had 6 trees taken down, and the tree removal company was actually surprised I wanted to keep all the wood. I thought they might sell it, but they said they just grind it up and landfill it. Made me wince, but I grew up in tree sparse areas.

    GOOD MORNING GUYS.
    The bar on the chainsaw probably needs the ridges filed down flat. I’d pull the bar and chain and lay the bar flat and file the edges of the channel where the chain rides. Carful the channel edges can be very sharp. That should help tremendously.
    Also might need to file the chain rakers down a couple of licks.
    STAY SAFE
