    From free to making money??

    I started small, after falling trees in the timber for firewood. I couldn't find anyone to teach me to climb, so I taught myself. I studied videos. I didnt really watch the video for the title. I watched how people got from limb to limb, how they moved around etc. The tallest, safest, anchor...

    From free to making money??

    I would tell myself to do exactly what I did, but advertise and hire the 2nd ground person sooner. I started with fallen trees, and widow makers. I began pruning and spikeless climbing fruit trees. Now I can take down any tree. I have done crane work, I have a forestry bucket now for road and...

    New show on National Geographic Thursdays at 9pm.

    I know the accidents are staged, that tree was hinged to hit the house, but i do like how it could have HO's looking at their trees differently.

    Hearth pad, or cement block for wood stove install?

    It does have a heat shield in the back, sits about 16-18 inches off the ground we have carpet down, and the wall is quarter inch drywall but i will have something up along the wall

    at that cost i might save that for the house in a couple years, will price some board for the wall though for sure and give it some breathing space behind. thanks

    Hearth pad, or cement block for wood stove install?

    im just worried about patching it later, going to take the stoves with me when we sell it. Its only a temporary spot while i save up for equipment to help pay for a house.

    that will look good with some tile on it, that cement board more affordable than hearth pad? I know that 2 inch isnt ahhhahaha, but i think some 2x's or 4x's would work

    THat pretty affordable? Since the window is pretty low, i just need to have it up to the window kit that goes in, its triple wall at least if i remember right the kit that goes in the frame.

    when you fill it full of hedge, what did you think would happen :chop:hahahahaha im gonna be very careful about that too, smoke detectors are all getting new batteries, fire extinguisher will be in each bedroom, etc. I guess i should have mentioned this is my first stove install in a mobile...

    alright thanks, some cement back board will work fine for the wall, one stove has a heat sheild on the back already, so on the wall i wouldn't think it would need to much, the other stove is just the old school wood long and skinny. Gonna use one for the house and one for the shop.

    Hearth pad, or cement block for wood stove install?

    As a kid, our stoves were always on a 2x4 base, and a hearth pad on top, i did the same also just to keep under the pad cool w/ airflow. If I skipped the hearth pad if block would work, i was thinking lay the blocks flat side up so there was air flow thru them, to help keep them cool. I know...

    Hearth pad, or cement block for wood stove install?

    The embers is what i was worried about, i haven't done any mortar work before, but couldn't be too hard i would think. Im trying to figure what would be more affordable, block or hearth pad. Some of the pads are $100-$200 plus, Ace Hardware has one for $50, but not sure about quality.

    thanks for the idea if i cant afford a small pad i will have that done and put it on a base, 2x4's is what i normally do for airflow underneath

    Okay thanks, have double wall pipe thats going to go out a window unit since this is a 2 yr house before we move back to the country, then the pipe will be secured to the roof obviously. I plan on at least 2 ft above the top of the roof if i can safely secure it, 3 if possible.
