@ Magic Eraser!
I think I'm going to get some kind of oil on them as they come off... Since they'll be garden stakes in the dirt and getting wet anyways, it can't hurt?

Last post by TroyC - Today at 12:29:12 PM

I volunteered at a state park in the Keys. We trimmed limbs and branches even with the board railing around the campsites. Weedeating to keep the campsites clear. A couple walkways where people walk were cleared so the vegetation would not interfere with walking. Other than that most was left to nature. There was no firewood or campsite fires permitted because the tree roots in the Keys are very close to the ground surface.

Is it a yard tree, near a house?

Peter, I forgot to ask that, but I suspect it is as it is in Old Town Spring, which is the refurbished downtown of Spring, Texas. 
I suppose to get photos today.  It just died.

Last post by B.C.C. Lapp - Today at 12:13:26 PM

I sold those 48 bags easily enough.  Sold 12 bags each to 4 different stores.  All want resupplied as needed.
  Mrs. Lapp told me I never charge enough for anything and I got to stop thinking of prices like its 2019.   So I asked for what I thought was a HIGH price per bag considering they are retailing these bags. Not one of them hesitated or even blinked.   
So she was right. 

So I'm cutting splitting and stacking and trying to figure out when I'm going to get my fields plowed and fitted, when I'm going to get the logging job done my skidder is still at and how I'm doing to get my building up for my  sawmill and firewood equipment and a place to stack filled bags.   I need three of me.

I had a tree guy state that when bidding some tree trimming for us.  It just meant taking off lower limbs and dead wood/branches and cutting back outgrowing limbs to make a canopy that looked manicured some.  state parks have crews that maintain things.  often it is in a campground so there are trees that folks can park camper beside and below.  at campgrounds there are usually areas that are dense and natural and other areas with no debris on the ground.

How about documenting the Mikron install with pictures and giving us a report. 

I think it's stuck in customs but it's only been there a couple of days. Don't know how long it will take but the last time I ordered from out of the country it took about a week for customs to clear it but I would be happy to document the install on my 2003 Timberking B20. I did tell them it's for the B20 and the kit is supposed to be customized for it. I would like to think it will make my investment worth it. I don't have any business plans for my mill but just the few projects I have planned will save enough money to at least break even and from there it's all gravy.

Did you ever get this installed? Would like to here more!
