(Ask me how i know) That always worried me Willie. A few years ago a neighbor called me about some dead trees looming over their house. I arranged to have them cut down but luckily they were nice enough to split the bill. But thanks for the comments, geesh now ive had to think about government mandates and insurance companies with my first cup of coffee this morning 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the comments, geesh now ive had to think about government mandates and insurance companies with my first cup of coffee this morning 🤣 Yes i checked all my trees one year and had at least 1 tree in each group of 14 (3 trees a group) that was going bad or already bad. These trees were mature trees at least 40-50 ft high. I decided to take them down, as i didn't want to be responsible for hitting the neighbor's house or God forbid my kids or grandkids. The wife wasn't happy! Took them all down one summer, cleaned the yard up and planted 56 green giants around the perimeter of the yard. The yard opened up and looked beautiful. The end of that summer the neighbors mature tree decided to break in half and take the path as a spear directly through my roof and the ceiling of one of the bedrooms. exactly what i didn't want my trees to do. Called my insurance company and they said i couldn't have the neighbor s insurance company pay as its my problem/gift. Had to go through my insurance company, i am sure that's another black mark on my name with them!! lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’ve been told that if your neighbor has a dead tree and you tell them about it , with witnesses, that actually puts all responsibility back on the tree owner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true Dennis, the insurance company did say that, but she said you might have to do it a few times to be covered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 So the blower went out on the furnace. Actual motor is ok but the plastic blades came apart. You guys can laugh all you want about “ hoarding “ but it sure comes in handy sometimes. Extra furnace, great blower motor and fan 15 minutes good to go. Now I’ll try to find a blower motor fan for next time 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 No Ron it’s not all that. lol. It was my garage furnace ( my Monte’s don’t like the cold. Neither does Karen lol). When I replaced the two house units I save them for exactly this purpose. One in garage and one for parts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think garage, basement, or spare bedroom stash's constitute hoarding, at least in my book 🤣 I once blew a radiator on the turnpike, on a Sunday, on a holiday weekend. Called my buddy who was a moustang freak and asked if he had one, he asked auto or manual. I said manual, I hear clank, rustle, and he says yea got one. I go glad I caught ya in the garage, he laughed and said I'm in the living room 🤣 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searsman Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Actually did this after work during the week, overhaul camp site. Wind blew canopy over , left a pile of metal, ripped canvas, ect.. cross ties , er railroad ties, had rotted after 15 years. Managed to get the frame of awning back together, tore out ties with tractor, 🚜 installed new ones. Keeps the gravel from migrating out. Need concrete but $$$ .. just waiting on new cover to put on canopy.. sometime we stay up there, build a fire 🔥, a quick getaway without the trip.. enjoy cooking outdoors.. cast iron.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
