What's your point flushcut? Did you not like either the Garlon or concrete idea? If you don't, just say so, and then add your suggestions. Like the original post...it's just an idea. A jug of Garlon cost a few hundred dollars. Granted he won't use very much of the bottle, but he's already talking about digging up the whole area, and thus putting labor dollars into it, so my thinking is that since you are already digging up the area lay down a 1/2 yard of concrete over it and be done with it.
Your popcorn thing is like Blueridge mark statement up there...it doesnt add to the subject. Not saying you don't know about the subject but like him you are not contributing. He didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about and yet he tried to stir up drama. If he knew anything about the subject, he would know that cities already use a rover/robot to explore the pipelines everyday. The rovors already have cameras, misc attachements, and drag along a power source/retrieving cable....so I was just thinking about adding a electrical device to zap the roots. It's not building a brand new robot. The only thing he knows is asplundh work. Not taking away from that...but he was hardly qaulified to comment on this subject. And apparantly he never figured out why powerlines are high volt/low amp or he would of grasped what I was saying in regards towards high amp/low volt attachement.
Sometimes you guys have some great insight and then sometimes you guys don't know jack about a subject and yet still add your little snide comments which is why I've been off this website for the last couple years. I come back on for one seemingly little insignificant comment and here comes the smartass icons and statements. I guess I'll leave again for a few more years because frankly, while I've learned a few things on this site, I've learned a lot more just be doing my own thing and doing other aspects of tree work aside from residential and utitlity.
