bogieb, I can help you out for a bit on Saturday morning if you'd like. It looks pretty manageable. I'm just over an hour from you. I'm 5 minutes away from the NH border, and 10 minutes from Rt. 93. Do I qualify since I'm from Ma.? I can probably help you get the fence back in order too.
This is all starting to come together in FHC Awesomeness fashion! Heck, if I lived closer I'd be there to run the camera!
I'm just north of the RI border I know if I could help, it wouldn't be until sometime next week. I'm currently down to Cape Cod Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
Hmmm, maybe a g2g in the works? Just kidding bogieb, ya don't want a bunch of rowty hoarders cutting down all ya trees, right?
I'll see what I can get done this weekend with the chainsaw I have. You never know, I've done quite a few things without having the right tools - it might go better than I imagine. I'll keep you posted. Edit - I wrote this before I say fishingpol's offer.
OMG - a Mass person coming onto NH soil - isn't there some law about that? Seriously - Saturday morning would be awesome fishingpol !
Watch out for any spring poles! Be careful working on it by yourself before any help arrives, ok bogieb?!
Good luck bogieb! X2 on anything under pressure. Keep me posted on your progress. Its no problem heading south a short trip.
This would be great and especially so if MikeInMa could meet you there and work together to help another forum member.
Jon, cheers to you for the offer. bogieb Jon is one great fellow and you will be blessed if he comes to help. Good luck.
Looks like you already have plenty of damage. Does your house insurance cover you to get that cleaned up by a pro? If I was about 800 miles closer I would be glad to help but no guarantee things would not suffer even more damage. When you cut the supporting branches off a section of trunk, the weight has to go somewhere and your fences and such look like prime targets for the added weight.
Insurance would cover a couple of hundred $$ cleaned up by a pro. My issue is I can't get anyone to return my phone calls - even companies literally a couple of blocks down the road don't get back to me.
And to prove to all who don't know me, I am not the kind of gal that just waits around like some damsel in distress. On my rare Friday night off, I got out there and got all the smaller stuff cleaned out of the area. I have stuffed the Explorer full and have 3 pile of limbs/brush waiting to be hauled off to the dump. After the pictures were taken, I used a leaf rake to get the smaller stuff - a clean work area is a safer work area.
And here is what is waiting for me to haul tomorrow I didn't bother with a picture of the pile on the other side of the house. That is all the stuff from inside the pen - not even enough to quite make a full load in the truck.
