Today i'm pruning fucking trees. Don't think this lot has ever been pruned before. I'm making a good mess of it.

Here's what i got so far.



Fuck trees.
That's all you got all day?! What are you using, the saw on a leatherman? :D

Looks like you're about ready for a fire!

I'm having a 40-foot hackberry removed from my yard in the next day or two. About a third of it is about to fall on my house, there's a huge split in one of the main forks. I'm not touching that project, happy to pay someone for that one. Tree is huge!

I was just teasing ya :)

Yeah man, that shit tree I have is just way too big for me to fuck with. The diameter at the base of the trunk is about 40 inches. That would be a bitch with my 16-inch chainsaw lol. Plus there is a lot of shit the tree could fall on while cutting (mainly my house, patio, and my kids playset). So not only do I not want to mess with that part of it, but I'm not real keen on climbing a tree with a big split in it. I'll let the pros take care of this one. Wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be, so that's a win.

That's good. I'd be way over it too.

Speaking of chainsaws, i just tried to crank mine and i think the carburetor is fucked.

Over the last week I've installed weather stripping on our exterior doors, replaced a receptacle in my daughters room that arced real bad when she plugged in a curling iron, replaced two switches that were arcing for some reason, and started painting our kitchen (about 1/2 way done...hope to be complete by Sunday night because I fly out to ATL on Monday).

Also fixed a couple of landscaping lights that were laid over because the plastic stake broke...I did it redneck style. 1/4" all thread drove in the ground & zip tied lights to rods.

I would be disappointed if you didn't do it redneck. :D

I've heard you can use WD-40 (or "panther piss" as my uncle called it) as a starting fluid, but I've never tried that. Carb cleaner should also work. Just spitballing ideas here man...
I appreciate it.

Shit'll turn over and die in about 4 seconds or if i hit the throttle.

You didn't get all drunk and put the gas where the oil goes and the oil where the gas goes did ya? Because chainsaws don't like when you do that. They're basically fucked for the weekend so you have to cut all your firewood during the camping trip with a fucking axe.

No, i even drained it and refilled it to be on the safe side.

I'll fuck with it again tomorrow.
