    You could always go with a plywood cutout Sasquatch. Etsy has plenty of patterns for sale for less than $10. :eek:

    I love this tool. Can use it for trimming things a fullsize would be too big for.
    Even small enough for my topiary

    This thing will go thru anything. They have a recall due to to some of them not needing to have both switches hit resulting in...Oops.

    Off topic, at some point this summer I'm headed up your way. I'll PM you, I'd love to see your TR and also get you in my 911

    Well, I am sad to say my TR is looking pretty bad right now. When we moved here two years + ago as I was parking it the car died and I have not had the time to dig it out and troubleshoot the problem. I suspect the rotor button but not sure. In that time it has had a portable garage fall on it and it is filthy and likely has been visited by more than one mouse. I am honestly not sure of its condition. It has needed a full restoration for 20 years and I have gathered many of the needed parts but the garage I need for a restoration at our new house was put on hold to give my mother a place to live, and, in reality, as it turned out, a place to die. No regrets, we were happy to provide that peaceful passing for her outside of a hospital setting. Now there are just too many priorities stacked up in front of the car. But I keep telling myself to spend a few hours seeing what condition it is in and if it will start. But the 911….if I were independently wealthy and money was no object an early 70’s Targa would be on the short list, probably in silver with a black interior.

    Learned of this thread the other day. Have done a lot around my house since buying just a few years ago.
    Today I took a stump out under my deck. Just the previous month I hired out getting it support structure work done properly. So now I can work towards eventually making the under side of the deck useable. First the stump had to go. Same with the old drain line.
