$100 Permit? For having a tree cut? That's BAD!

Yup, the tree is within 100ft of the water which puts it in the Chesapeake Resource Protection Act which requires a permit to do ANYTHING within that zone. If you are outside the 100ft zone, no permit needed.

There are only 3 tree cutting services here on the Eastern Shore of VA. Only 2 have large enough equipment to do the job. The larger service I have been dealing with charges $250 just to show up with the equipment, then it is $750/hr for setup, tree cutting and clean up. Doesn't take long for the price to get to $3000+. He will usually show up within a week to do the job. The other service is reportedly cheaper, but he might not show up for a month or two.

Work at night. Deny everything. LOL. Or better yet, tell them one of their trees has created a dangerous situation, and you want them to clear it.

Down here, the across the county road neighbor had a dead oak fall into the road on a holiday weekend. There was actually ice on the road. As I pulled out there on our 5420 Deere, the county commissioner arrived and said he had a man already on the way in their new fully cabbed backhoe. I let them handle it, but stood by just in case. The road was so slippery, I would have had to had a long rope to reach across the road to allow me to pull from the field. Backhoe had a thumb and made short work of it.

I have both, the issue is getting them up the tree high enough to do any good. I am very leary of putting a ladder against the tree to put the ropes up. I have visions of OHSA not approving, not that I care. The more I look at the situation, the cheaper the $3000 for a tree company to come out looks.

Can you attach near the base and drag backwards?

Forgot to post earlier

Also my little project. Decided that this might be a good time to increase my battery capacity and add 3 more, so had to build another erector set rack. Don’ t ask why black not grey.

I'm back from North Bay. Roads were wet to just starting to tighten up/freeze on the way up, 68 mph. Didn't use cruise control going but did coming home when most of the way was dry. 73 mph all the way home. Gas was what I said this morning. Went into Canadian Tire and blew $198.oo on metric ratchet wrenches, clevises, 20 cut off wheels and a new propane torch head. Lunch was my treat, part of his Christmas gift, $100.oo including tip. I had my usual, full rack of ribs with sweet potato fries and coleslaw.
Yup, David, dogs and cats don't get along.

Temperature when we got home was 41°F. Warmer than NM.

Kyle - sounds like you have what we had, watch for sinus infections as the wife got one and waited.
We got this around the 5th, so three weeks in, stopped the bad cough after the second week, so hope yours goes away faster.

Sleep as upright as you can to stop lungs from filling. Learned this dealing with pneumonia with my MIL.


First two weeks were sleepless constant hell. But then slow recovery, now just tired.

David/Sodamo - how come everything you do looks so good and thought out, even a battery template.

waiting for wife and son to return from Princeton where son and friend hung out for pancakes, record and book shopping.

Got this forwarded from a friend who is a retired SW airlines pilot.

That’s the SW pilot unions take on it.

I’ve used a lot of sheetz gas, never had a problem. My son got bad gas at Valero which is on the list. Just means they use a certain amount of detergent.
