I am reaching out to my lawn maintenance friends. I had a few pieces of equipment
stolen on Monday Nov 14. It was a shindawa backpack blower with a btoken handle
shindawa weed eater 242 shindawa chainsaw 488 in pretty rough shape
Stihl edger and stihl hedge trimmer 18" hand held set. I have all the serial numbers
for these and will offer a good reward for the return of my hard earned equipment
and please do me a favor if someone approaches you with this assortment of equipment
Hold them down and call me 678-283-3983 and i will come and beat the living daylights
out of this individual and pay you for your time. It was stolen on hwy 78 in snellville
Near the stone mntn end. Thanks for reading my rave and thanks for your time. I would
do the same for you TRUST ME! I HATE THEIVES!
I like it. You know, that's the way it used to be... and prople didn't steal from you because they were afraid of getting their butts kicked; but now, they get a lawyer, go to court, and either beat it or get a slap on the wrist (not really; that would constitute abuse or something of the sort). Let's go back to the olden days.
thats probably actually close to what FEMA pays. back when katrina came through the co I work for sent 2 crews on a FEMA gig I forget what the exact number was but they were doing like 4500-5K a day per crew no chipping just get it safe and stack it on the curb so if you know how to run your bucket you can make some serious money

You know.... we get these kind of calls occasionally where someone wants us to pay them to cut down their tree, like we can trade the wood for gold or something. I know guys use to remove them for free, then sell the wood, but they left a big mess because all they were after was the meat. But, does anyone even do this sort of thing anymore? Just curious. People are crazy.

I've seen several recurring ads from the same cheap bstrds wanting a redwood tree thats 40 feet tall removed for the wood only. And it's in between houses with no room to work. Yet another wants to give away the wood that's on the trunk only, meaning you cut the thing down, and they keep everything but the trunk, which is your reward. They even put up a picture with a circle around the parts you don't get.
I did get some free wood from one guy this year that was already cut up oak, but when I got there it was on a steep incline, and you also had to walk along the narrow edge of a pool that was dug into the hill. Then you had to go up some stone steps, once again very steep and alongside the house to the street. Very, very hard work, carrying only a few woods at a time. Couldn't help but spill bark and chunks into the pool as you went by. Don't think I'll do that again, and normally I would have walked from that one in the first place, but I had driven my truck and trailer some distance that I didn't want to waste. Wish I would have snapped a picture of that pool route too, as it was just a couple cobblestones wide and about 12' long. definately work only a sure-footed injun should have taken up.
But this weeks prize actually goes to the cheapo that posted free leaves, if you rake them. I thought the free dirt if you dig it one was self-gratuitous enough, but this little prize won't even give a neighbor kid a few bucks to rake their lawn. Sometimes you wonder if they're joking, but after the odds show you otherwise, you just assume the worst

We cut down a tree and hauled it to the street. You may have to split some of it, but it has been cut into mostly manageable sections. You'll need a partner to load though.
Dig/muddle/haul at your own risk. Don't email, I won't answer. No one will be available to help you.

Won't answer email, no phone number, no house number, I guess you just drive back and forth on Solar St. till you see some wood.

Wouldn't be too hard, Solar St. ain't but two blocks long. Google maps tells me this from 1100 miles and two mouse clicks away.
