I have a driveway full of snow that is free to anyone who will haul it away. It makes great snowballs, forts for the kids, or even snow ice cream if you really want to try that.

Free Tree Update from Walt 41

Walt 41,

I know this isn't a CL laugh, but I want to respond to Walt 41's post:

Good to hear that you reclaimed your land that the neighbor tried to expand their lawn into and made it very apparent to them that they are not welcome. We have unfortunately learned (the stressful and expensive way) that one can never be too direct with one's neighbors when it comes to property boundaries. Our family just had a go-around with a new neighbor that tried to steal about 1/3 of an acre of our farm through the legal process of adverse possession. It cost us about $5 grand in legal fees to get sworn affadavits etc. from the previous neighbors to put an end to it. We let the previous neighbor maintain the 1/3 acre that borders their lawn with our permission, but of course no written documentation of that permission was ever given as we had a good relationship with them. So, when the new guy moved in, he tried to claim our property after he had a survey done. So, a word of warning to all Arborist Site Members and property owners in regards to knowing about the adverse possession laws in your state. People can legally take your land if they "maintain" the property and you allow them do so without giving them specific permission to do so (or allow them to do so by never saying anything to them). If you ever give someone permission to maintain a part of your property (lawn, driveway, fence, etc.) make sure you have a written document that says so and that each of you sign.

Almost Sober Santa Available (Wichita)

It's been over 3 days, and I haven't felt like I want to chug a fifth of Jack. Enough said. I'm charming, fun to be around, blump, and love kids. I mean it. I love them. There're almost like little people. I mean if you see them smile and laugh and giggle and stuff, you might think they were just like us or somethin. I got a Red Suit (not fully Santa) but I did put a white piece of tape down the front, mostly to cover the tear, but also to give it that cotten effect. I got a black belt, boots, and even some glasses. I can 'ho' with the best of 'em, and I've been practicing all 6 of the reindeers names all day, just abouts. Anyways, if you want a fun ol guy to be around with your kids, I can handle it. I pretty much don't like crowds, but i can suck it up for long enough to be jolly. Ho, ho, ho.... see, i'm already getting the hangs of this.

Must pay cash.

Heard the guy was from Ark City...

 

[KsWoodsMan]

:jawdrop: He might be , but that's not my gig ! I'm not so much of the blump sort. I first read that and thought he had interjected a burp.

Bad weather and the Holidays just seems to bring out the crazies.

FIREWOOD WARNING!!!!! (Denver )
Date: 2009-12-21, 11:04AM MST
Reply to: see below

There are 2 guys out there that you don't want to deal with when it comes to buying firewood. First they stold my number from the guy's notebook that I originally called. Said they could get me the wood sooner than Terry could for the same price. $200 for a full cord of hardwood. They didn't even bring half of that & then tried to charge me more to bring the rest. They are two very shady people so I wanted to make sure no one else gets taken advantage of. Its a father & son named Phil & Kelly. There number is 720.936.9258. Trust me, you don't want to deal with these two. Hope this helps others.

Exactly what did the EPA approve on these????

 

[Walt41]

I think EPA might be his landlords initials. Probably goes something like this " EPA said I could keep these barrels here so I guess they are EPA approved"

 

[Walt41]

Why am I tempted to do a phone job on this guy and pretend I am from the real EPA...and say I need to come out and do a field analysis of paint and welding. Sometimes I just need to control my childish urges!

I'm 30 miles away, and have a little time to kill before the football game, let's see what kind of mischief I can cause.

Edit: Called the number, with caller ID turned off of course, and all I got was voice mail. Wasn't gonna leave my number for dingdong, so I hung up.

I think you folks might be a bit harsh on this seller. The only thing I can find wrong with his ad is "EPA APPROVED". It should read "EPA EXEMPT". You could stretch it a bit and claim that the EPA does not dis-approve of it because it is exempt.

If he is buying his kits from Volgelzang direct he is into the kit alone $160 plus shipping for the double deluxe.

http://www.vogelzang.com/browse.cfm/barrel-stove-kits/2,6.html

Include the barrels and paint and he is only making around $100 for his time and effort. If he took the time to burn off the old paint and clean up the barrels some, he has a couple hours of his time into each stove.

I like the barrel stoves, they do a good job if you need to heat a large area. If one is handy with a welder the mods on these are endless like secondary air burn tubes, oven in the top barrel, etc.

I would say his price is reasonable for his time and efforts. The stoves will pay for themselves in only a few months. I bet he is selling them.

 

[Walt41]

Mabye I was a little harsh about the EPA thing and you are right price might be fair but i'm still calling with many questions.

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

Exactly what did the EPA approve on these????

The paint, of course!
