Did this one in sections, used Henry to guide them down. That's my brother in the tree, he does the crazy work.
Well, a few of us may have done that differently but what counts is that you got it down and it appears the electrical lines are still intact. Got some nice firewood from it too.
Yeah, I tried the get the electric company to come disconnect, but they wouldn't come out. Told them they could come put it back up then. Had a rope in the mix so I wouldn't get zapped in the truck.
Gave my brother about a third of the wood for helping, which happened to be the amount that fell closer to his yard than mine. Had some sports pylons set up to close down the road, had a few vehicles just about turn into the work area but the pylons stopped them. Dad was one of them.
Hey Jack the Knife. Do me a flavor. Will you? Tell your brother I said nice work as well. And, I just thought of something. Do your brother a favor. Teach him the importance, the extreme importance, of wearing protective equipment. I do not see it on him. One accident, just one. Will change everything. Please. Even if you have to work it in a different way because he may not think he needs it. Some people don't. Ask him to consider it. To look into it himself. Maybe even say, hey. You have some skill here man. Can make some money at this. Look at these chaps that could save your leg someday from a terrible thing. There I go again. That safety thing going through my mind. Sorry. I don't mean to offend.
I try, I try. Offered him mask and chaps, wouldn't use either. He did have ear plugs in all day at least, I showed him the muffs I got out of the hunting section for $10 as well. And yes, he did a damm fine job and Henry did some good work too.
Yeah! That is a great idea. Break it to him softly, or hard if you have to. Maybe say something like "LOOK, little brother. If you cut your leg wide open some day, and it may not even be your own fault, you will be scared, hurt, and praying to keep the use of your leg. Or praying to keep your leg period. Listen to me. Please Bro!" Or something else. That was what I could think of for now. It really is scary stuff. Dangerous. But it doesn't have to be if we work safe. Best of luck my friend. And again. Tell your brother I said nice work. And is he going to join this place?
