We did a bunch of removals yesterday with the crane. It was a so-so day, right off the bat my truck got stuck in the snow with the chipper... had to take the chipper off so one of my friends could pull the truck out with his pick-up, then we got the chipper out with his truck. All ice under the snow, and where there wasn't snow there was just ice. I didn't get the job with the crazy cat woman, and this other oak tree I was planning to take out was postponed due to a car being in the way of the set-up. I did see my new alturnamats, but unfortunately the company ordered 4x8's instead of 3x8... so I will be getting them at the lower price... not a bad deal.
Today we finished up one of the jobs from yesterday, one of my friends came in to haul off the logs with his log truck... cost me $250 to take out 2 loads of wood. He took off $50 because I let him dump some cottonweed logs at my yard. Picked up my compressor from the mechanic, they had to do a new filter on it, $500 right there. Got a bill from an alleged friend for hauling logs about a month ago... $700 to haul 1 trailer load of logs and dispose of them... the logs were all decked up nicey nice, but he had to be greedy... last time I'll be using him for that. Another friend called me, starting to put together a nice crane job for the next couple of weeks, so it looks promising.

I made two sets of screens. In the picture of it unfolded in the garage, you can see the other one sitting behind it.
They look very nice 2 tree. I will be making me a pair just like them. What are the dementions??

Welcome to the world Ellie! Congrats
Pulled the rear passenger wheel off my truck today, 2003 Chev 1500 4x4. Its been making the most godawful grinding, broken spinning shaft sound finally pinpointed that wheel. Figured it was either the bearing or the parking break shoe inside the rear drum. Wheel felt solid, pulled the caliper & rotor/drum shoe was loose as cheap who-err and I could tell it'd been rubbing. Put it all back together and she's silent again, love it when you can fix something by simply removing and discarding parts - doesn't happen often lol. Stupid design on GM's part anyways, parking brake hardly ever worked!

NOT the same...
That's right, from now on, it's not when YOU want to eat or just slip out... There's always someone else to tag along!
