It went from 125 to 400 acres overnight, no structures burned, dozer line all the way around. They’re optimistic right now. This is deja vu in a bad way, we thought our place was gonna burn last year.
This is our county supervisor, he’s really good about keeping us informed.
All this talk about tarps.Oh man bro.
Tarps in the snow, well.
I can tarp with the best of the middle of the rd tarpers, but that doesn't mean I want to.
Are you hoping it leads to another local gig that you don't need to tarp.
Hopefully since it's more local you're able to tarp in the building and they help lift them with the hilo for you. My last driving job was probably 60-70% tarped, drywall doesn't like getting wet much, and the hangers like it even less lol. Steel studs don't need to be tarped, but if you have loose bands on them it's not a bad idea to toss a junk tarp on them just in case one decides it wants to try to escape.
Speaking of tapping/load securement. Last night after I got the stove(which I already installed, seems to be working lol) I picked up a few other things.
This was one bag, I hope it works, as I didn't test it and I didn't open it to see what was in it(and it says Chrysler on it), just gave the guy 20$.

So you're trying to bait me into responding to a 7 yr old threadAll this talk about tarps.https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/to-cover-or-not.266277/
Some nice grabs.Also snagged this Milwaukee polisher, I didn't check to see if it works while there, but it does lol. I wasn't sure if it was the grinder or the polisher, unfortunately it's the polisher, guess I lost on that $20. My other hope was that the saws-all I've had for 25 yrs that stopped working 2 wks ago just needed a cord and this one would fit. I tried the cord it fits, but no love, and the cord from the saws-all works on the polisher.

Then my scrounging purchase, also for $20.
Been wanting one for quite a while, another 20lbs for traction in the excursion.

Thanks.Some nice grabs.
Does the sawzall have replaceable brushes? After 25 years might be that simple.
25 years - I'm thinking if you bought that new that it has the plastic case? Just pulled mine out last week for the big project and my buddy noted the good condition of the metal case. I'm thinking it's close to 30 years old and they went to the plastic case shortly after that. Earlier ones had the fixed cord.My other hope was that the saws-all I've had for 25 yrs that stopped working 2 wks ago just needed a cord and this one would fit
Milwaukee catalog used to list 20 versions of the 'same' tool; took a sharp read to understand the differences. Sometimes single speed, 2-speed, or variable speed. Sometimes fixed or removable cord. Sometimes a kit. Sometimes different amps or voltages, etc. Same thing with Delta power tools when they were a commercial / industrial grade.Earlier ones had the fixed cord.
Yes, that is true. As I remember it though, the detachable cord had just been phased in and the metal case was about to be discontinued in that era. Mine says Sawzall Plus which was one of the differentiating names I'm sure. Now it seems lots of stuff can be had in a commemorative model, special edition, and the like with a unique color for 50th anniversary or whatever other occasion.Milwaukee catalog used to list 20 versions of the 'same' tool; took a sharp read to understand the differences.

If I remember correctly a friend who's an electrician gave it to me because his work gave him with a new one. I think his new one was like that with the quick clamp setup.25 years - I'm thinking if you bought that new that it has the plastic case?

Craigslist wasn't around back then but you probably got it at a barn sale knowing you.
Nope, I may have had it longer than 25, I didn't want to stretch it though, it's not a fish storyI think you guys are going a little far back with 30 years for that Sawzall... I remember seeing them as a kid new on the shelf, in metal cases. I'd say more like 20 years have or take a few.
Congrats Mike.Well, did something real important today!
Took the Mustang up to NH to visit my Daughter, her other half, and my new Grandson!
Everyone is doing well, and ... other than numerous Traffic jams, the Mustang did real well. I'm really liking the new tires I put on it.
Looks like I've only had mine for about 24 years, so i guess I'm younger than I thought!I think you guys are going a little far back with 30 years for that Sawzall... I remember seeing them as a kid new on the shelf, in metal cases. I'd say more like 20 years have or take a few.
Did you dig out the receiptLooks like I've only had mine for about 24 years
Yeah, it was right there in my diary!Did you dig out the receipt.
I saw one today down your way, it looked about as nice as yours, iirc it was $125.
Man that wood has a pretty grain and color...looks highly valuable!Neighbor had a big ironbark removed and the tree crew left me the barrels and a monster crotch. Took 3 loads with the mudguards touching the road before I had to stop due to a 3 day lockdown about to start, which means I moved about 1.5 tonnes of wood. I rarely get green wood. I had to noodle each round in to thirds just to be able to lift it. Ironbark is terrible to cut when the bark is on due to it being loaded with dirt. I had to sharpen every 4-5 cuts, which made for a long day. It will make up for the trouble next year when it's seasoned - my preferred heating wood.
