    PSA: Verify those property lines and watershed easements

    Found this on an unrelated forum. I'll just link to his posting with pictures and maps rather than copy his post here. You don't have to be a forum member there to read it. Last Friday/Saturday a homeowner hired a crew to clearcut their backyard. What was cut was only partly cutable, mostly on...

    What happens if you clear cut the wrong parcel?

    Saw this in a financial forum, neighbor sells timber for clear-cut, loggers also clear-cut 1/3 of the forum poster's land. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/1374253/ What would happen in your state if you did that? I can recall a time in the 1980s when a landowner claimed he bought a...

    A friend wants to buy my 10532 refurb to do some lot clearing (falling and bucking). (don't worry Redmax lovers, I've still got two brand new ones sitting on a shelf) Since I never dropped a tree with it, I never did anything about the too stiff fuel pickup line. What's the best way to get...

    Afraid of Equipment Theft? Want to Give City Gov't the Keys to Your Storage?

    Cross posted from the political forum. Cedar Falls, Iowa city council strongly supports an ordinance to require key boxes on business/rental buildings. Everybody would be required to buy a keybox, and lots of city employees would know the code to get the keys out of the boxes. You get to put...

    Nosak goes to Hungary?

    If this guy didn't intend to squash a Mercedes, I don't know what he was trying to accomplish. Did he really think it was going to fall towards his groundies? <iframe width="853" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X5JPVonpl4w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Cleaning stainless chimney with brush and flex rod

    Well, we got the chimney up on dad's new garage last weekend. 6" insulated stainless, with a cleanout plug pointing straight down about 20" above the ground. Now we need to do some planning on how to clean the thing. Poly brush or steel? Which flexible rod? Where's a cheap place to...

    Ryobi/Zama carb screws

    Well, my eyes are working pretty well tonight (better than the macro mode on the little Nikon, anyway) so I pulled the carb on the $99 Ryobi 10532 to take another look at the screws. The carb is a Zama C1Q (H64-64A). I'm 90% sure that those are indeed adjuster screws, I just haven't been able...

    Grandpa's logging pics, circa 1907

    When my grandfather was about 14, his dad dragged him to logging camp to serve as the cook's assistant, or Cookie Boy. It was hard work, starting a couple of hours before sunrise, and finishing well after sundown. The loggers worked long hours, and gramps had to cook breakfast before they got...

    Ryobi 10532 carb screws?

    In an earlier thread, somebody mentioned jamming a butt connector on their Ryobi's carb screws to turn them off, then slotting the heads with a dremel. I tried that with a plastic insulated connector, a piece of fuel line, a Husky/Poulan carb screwdriver, I even tried jamming a 10-12ga brass...

    2 problem trees - how to take down safely?

    First tree is in a fencerow, I'd like to bring it down in the lane where the camera is in the first pic. Pretty large, been dead a while, dropped three big widowmakers last month. Kinda afraid to stand under the thing, let alone cut on it. Here's a close up of my hat sitting on...

    Tree fell on car

    This was posted to a Mercedes forum this morning. 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190D Turbo. The turbo was only made one year, fewer than 1500 were built. He pampers this car, only parked it outside because he needed to work on the Volvo in the garage this weekend.
