CoastalWx Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Congrats me. I think I remember that. Didn't that line bring a whole bunch of wind damage as it came through the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 LOL..there would only be chainsaws and men with long hair blowing in the wind,, tied back with bandanas, pony-os, and kerchiefs. They would lay down plywood, so as the logs, and parts of trees they carefully roped off and cut would fall ono the wood, thus not creating any damage or divots in the lawn. All the sawdust would fall onto the wood..and some of it would get in their long hair..so when they were finished they would simply blow all the sawdust into the woods,, and then turn the blowers on each other as they undid their pony-os and tiebacks and let the blowers blow their hair clean like a lion in the wind Nice homo-erotic fantasy you cooked up for yourself.lol I like how you worked lawn preservation into it just to take you over the edge. We don't carefully drop trees with ropes. We drop 'em, limb 'em, stack 'em, burn the slash and make a mud bog with the CAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can assure you that wouldn't be the case here if I hired your crew of confederate flag toters. If I came home to that carnage of the lawn..I would get my clippers and shave all their heads bald including yours..and then burn the hair in your fire pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My max/min that day was 65F/40F. Just awful. At least the 2nd half of the month was cold albeit no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their job is to take down the tree and haul it away. I know they do clean up, but sawdust is a pain to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 And you get pissy about spreading 5 lbs of fertilizer... HAHa, I knew you'd comment. If you notice there is silt fencing in place as per the criteria laid out by the local Conservation Commission. We'll do our work being scrutinized every step of the way by a host of agencies. When we are done everything will be given one final inspection to make sure we are in compliance. No ground water contamination from fertilizers or pesticides. We build in the most ecologically friendly way possible. This house will feature an impressive solar array and will be designed to be off the grid further minimizing the impact on the environment. People need houses and we are building them as responsibly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they do clean up, but sawdust is a pain to clean. I'd never heard of it either..but it makes sense. The last thing a homeowner should do is have to pay out that kind of money and then clean up after they leave. If you do a job..you do it correctly and that includes clean up. People remember that kind of stuff Word of mouth spreads..and if they do a half assed job they certainly don't get many referrals. Doing a job like that means you clean up too. I often wonder if their crews did the work on their own lawns what kind of care they would take in minimizing the damage and cleaning up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Big black flies incoming. Big, big black flies. I can't stand those things. That is the only thing I do not like about living up here in Central NH. Living inside Rt 128 in the Boston area I never thought about those beasts much. Now I scramble to get the spring cleanup done before they arrive. . Newfound Lake ice really got dark today, ice out within a couple of days I bet. Stil 25-50% snowcover in the north facing woods and my year high of 61F looks like it will not be broken anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential home owners will find it much more appealing. Makes perfect sense. Pete can attest to this, I'm sure. It was like when I had a new roof put on 2 yrs ago. They smashed a bunch of my plants/shrubs, got tar on my bricks walk leading up to the front porch, and I found nails in the yard and flowerbed well over a year after it was done at random times. Then the topper was the dumpster company left a 12 foot long gouge in my driveway when they removed the dumpster full of debris..and didn't leave a note or call or anything. So when I get home that's the first thing I see. I called the idiots and they said they didn't know it had happened lol. They sent out two idiots who tried to heat up the asphalt surrounding the gouge and meld it into the gouge and then stomped it down with workboots leaving boot marks. I was home for that disaster luckily..I told them totally unacceptable..and called the owner. and threatened to contact BBB. 2 days later a paving contracter came out and resealed my entire driveway. Me FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messy jobsites are dangerous form the guys working and when a customer is spending a million or 3 on a house they expectthings to look good regardless of what stage of completion the house is in. I don't build on spec but those that do find this important as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Most tree guys down here always use plywood for two reasons, one they can drop and not damage the lawn, and two they lay the plywood down so the bucket truck does not leave tire tracks on the lawn if they have to drive on it. Fairly routine practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Record highs in Jan are brutal. Jan '07 was awful. Nothing like having your wx radio go off for special marine warnings from tstms. Feb 2011 best winter TStorms of my life reflecting off a two foot snow, perhaps the best light show I have witnessed probable 2 to an incredible display in 87 over the ocean when I was living on the beach. That was an hour long constant barrage off a deadcalm ocean, often hard to tell which way the bolts were going due to reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most of your clients request "green" tech or do you do it anyway? There is a firm that will lease you solar panels and you get the electricity... supposed to be cheaper than the regular electric utilities, but I used their little calculator and I would save maybe $12 per year... Not enough sunlight here I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey guys, what caused this outflow boundary off of the Adirondacks this AM? Never seen anything like it! Interesting find! My best guess is that since the Adirondacks are still snow covered and, therefore, colder than the surrounding areas, cold air rushed downward off the higher elevations into the surrounding lowlands. Recall that cold air has a much higher density than warmer air. The leading edge of the cold air advancement likely caused some small scale lift producing some clouds much like what you'd see on the leading edge of a thunderstorm outflow boundary. I think what we're seeing here is probably a localized Adirondack induced katabatic wind scenario where cold air rushes downward off of snow-covered mountains. Nearly calm synoptic scale winds likely allowed the air to descend of the mountains equally in all directions, giving it a symmetrical appearance.
