Well, supposedly there are standing wooden buildings in japan treated with the technique that are over 400 years old. Personally, I just like the aesthetic, and the fact I don’t have to fool around with paint or finishing.

Giant kale, first purple asparagus and morels in the garden!

We finished it and I’m still alive! Thankfully day 2 was crane work. Had the young guy do the climbing portion and I did the rest with the bucket. Interesting tree, probably less than 100 years old, 1/2”-3/4” rings. The cavity went all the way to the ground but was filled to half way with...

First day climbing a real tree since my surgery a month ago now. Maybe 120’, big limbs, bit not a lot as it had been pruned in the past. Has a habit of dropping stuff on the house so it’s gots to go. I spent a couple hours in the bucket and the the rest of the day climbing. We got it stripped...

I’m finally feeling good enough to walk around with garden and do some joinery work on the treehouse railing posts. I’ve weaned myself down to 1/4 of a pill every 4hrs, and I think I’ve found the right mix of fiber and laxatives 🙄. I can poo on the toilet instead of having to lay in the bath🤮.by...

Some garden photos from today. Beautiful and sunny weather!

This little stinker was strutting across the yard with a big fat mole in his mouth! 😄

My last doggo, Mouse. He was a rescue from Salinas. Clipped ears, beat up knees, worn down teeth (presumably from being kenneled and trying too chew his way out). We took him home and got his skin healed up, but there wasn’t much we could do about his knees short of expensive surgery. He was a...

I’m 47 and not especially high as far as risk factors go. My grandfather passed from prostate cancer at 82, and my mom survived breast cancer 15 years ago. Definitely something I didn’t want to put off for too long. Colonoscopy was no problem. It was the hemorrhoid operation. There are 3 veins...

Stool softener to counter act the opioids. No spicy food 😳

I went in to get a routine colonoscopy on Wednesday. I’ve had a periodic hemorrhoid for a long time. “ we can take care of that while we’re in there if you want.” Great. Failed to mention potential weeks of intense pain 🫣. Currently trying to stay sane and get through this without becoming...

One or two seconds. Pretty quick. Of course there’s always going to be dependent on factors like soil, moisture, and average size and density of the plants being pulled. I’m guessing that moving from plant to plant and piling/hauling them will eat a lot of time.

Nice find! I see it works with a different grabbing mechanism. This is what I based my design on:nail extractor tool at DuckDuckGo - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nail+extractor+tool&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.faithfulltools.com%2Fimages%2Fxxlarge%2FFAINAILPULL_B.jpg

Long taproot. Not very branching luckily

We have a contract for removing scotch broom from one of the big open space parks in town. They want them pulled out manually, no mowing. I made this to do it. I modeled it after a pretty common nail pulling tool. The tool is basically a big pliers with one short handle. The foot on the short...

This will be my first year getting loquats!

That’s it! He had a boat trailer winch setup with an elastic gizmo on the saw throttle too! Get the cut started and the just crank the winch.

Back when I had my chainsaw mill going I used a system from an old book on the subject. I can’t remember the author, but he had it dialed. He use a 2x10 with angle iron screwed on both long edges the full length. The angle facing away from the board so it creates a lip down the length. He would...

First flower! Almond is beating out plums this year
