I heard from Dave last weekend. I Don't know the details, but it was a $5000 repair. I'm hoping he will be here tomorrow to finish.

Thanks BeenThere.  I don't belong to either of them.  Probably lots of other good videos.  Thanks for the information.

Here is where he was mulching behind my sheds. I raked it out with my landscape rake and burnt the slash, but the alder roots need to be ground out yet. Hope he comes tomorrow.

Nice to get that growth away from the buildings. Makes the critters more hesitant in getting in there to make a mess. A squirrel near a spruce tree can makes a mess of anything parked inside with shelled cone scales all over along with poo poo. Eliminate the veg corridor from bush to building. :D I like squirrels, but like'm much better outside in their own space. I get a kick out of all the scale piles out on the woodlot. They are busy. :D

When he gets back, I hope to have him mulch out for a driveway expansion. Current conditions makes it tough to have visitors like @GAB and @DbltreeBelgians hauling rigs to stop and visit as they can testify to. We got Gerald out, and Brent docked his train on da downside of da big bridge and came back. I think with my hoe and a little mulching, and a culvert extention, I can fix the issue of getting off and back on the road. This aint a good road to park on due to the ditches and short shoulders.

Always back to food!  

Yes a good traditional Brunswick Stew will have some squirrels in it.  But ssshhhh, a good Brunswick Stew is like good grits.   :)

Our brethren from the north may not know to appreciate Brunswick Stew!

@DbltreeBelgians @Furby claims he can put this in there. I said you can put it in there but it aint coming out without closing the road.

Jeff:
The town or county road is not all that wide and your driveway culvert I did not think was very wide either.
A truck that long, and a trailer with the wheels that far behind the rear truck wheels, well I would suggest he wait until after you widen the culvert.  Now if he tries backing it in he might have a chance, and an even better chance of getting out.

That's his tennis court net and fence. :D Lord save us, if I was travelling, the last thing I need is to haul a house around. If back roads was your thing, don't ever come to NB. The back roads here would up end the contents of that thing and most likely sever truck from trailer. :) I see trailers park at Walmart here sometimes, it's off the 4-lane. But the road into the parking lot is pothole city. ;D
