    Those are so bad. I can't believe you actually wanted that junk.

    Never used them but have them in a box of miscellaneous stuff. They are pretty atrocious but it shows how far you have come as far as skill.

    Thanks, I realize that's a subject from the past but it stuck out when I was going back through this thread. Regardless of the function, I like the way it looks - good job!

    Thanks! Since then, I shortened my bumper wings by 1" to help with tire clearance. I cut off the tube and reused it, so now it's sucked in more to the bumper. Less functional, but hey, at least it looks cool.

    I know right, and I'm glad you agree that at the very least he should have gotten 2 letters from them!

    He's been a blight on the neighborhood ever since he moved in.

    can I get the backstory on this? I feel like you've been posting about these fucking trees everywhere, but I'm clueless as to why you are clearing them...

    What kind of trees are they? The look odd to me. Of course I'm not an arborist.

    So similar story, but it's a random SNCO Marine who's single with a dog. Not a peep or complaint, besides the initial letter from the City on the grass not being cut (talk about full circle)...once he was advised the City would follow up with a crew to cut and a $fee is accessed to the property owner and you would be footing the bill(s). My father and I co-manage the rental FYI, so it's good to know who to call (@pabstsmeared) when the 1982 AC unit finally kicks the bucket!!!

    Mostly poplar, pine and maple...this part of the property was a hay field 30 something years ago, the back is more hardwood and mature trees.

    It's that the majority of them are so straight and tall. The guys didn't realize until they got into it and the tree tops fell just how tall they were.

    Well damn you for paying attention to my bs and coincidence bs postings!!!!!!

    I know, I was like...can I run this machine for you, sure seems like (aside from being close to structures) a major soothing/relaxation activity!!! I mean LOOK at how much progress you see before your eyes, talk about instant gratification!!!

    FYI you'll need something a wee bit bigger to haul it around than any pickup:D
