The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

We was forecasted for a inch of rain today and tonight. Well........it's coming down as snow. One inch of rain equals 10 to 12 inches of snow.

Ugh, total cost $8500 for tree removal. Ended up taking down 7 additional trees because of ash bore and rot (so in total, the storm + stupid beetle + old age got 10.5 of my trees). I guess my garage will live but my wallet has died a terrible death.

With that money. I would be buying a chainsaw, log splitter, and a fireplace/wood stove.

Stuff happens. I knew moving into the property that tree maintenance would be a thing, but admittedly I didn't expect it all at once - kinda thought it'd trickle in over time

Great ideas, but I don't have the skill set to take down the trees without destroying either garage, house, or both. The trees are on an angled hill behind my house. The pines are about 75-90 feet in height, the ash close to the same, to say nothing of the diameter of the ash. After watching the guys yesterday go about it, I think I could emulate their efforts with some practice, but I don't have a team of people waiting at the bottom with ropes to make sure the tree falls correctly.

Knowing your limitations is important. I write good quality documentation, and drive good policy and procedures; I'm a halfway decent carpenter and general contractor; I can turn the occasional wrench; I'll probably kill myself cutting down a tree.

Words of wisdom. I'll get the chainsaw and rope. I hope Megan has a strong pullers back...
