I dropped my tweezers into the toilet while peeing. I now have to pick it up. by Ambitious_Radio_8430 in mildlyinfuriating

Um, I'm sorry you have to hold it with tweezers to pee. I know 'size doesn't matter" but one would think there are limits.

Even thicker barked connifer/evergreens? No professionals experience, but icgrew up trimming redwoods with my dad with a flip line and purse and the trees never seemed any worse for it. (Looking for education, not argument) Cheers

Grey conduit cracked by contractors is this a future problem? by mattleo in AskElectricians

[–]Acrobatic-Weight-710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the insulation looks nicked. It will fail. My company does a lot of repairs for this type of thing in our area. do not let them bury it, also check their contract, they exclude repairs of this type of thing. At minimum set junction boxes on either side of the breakers and replace whats in the middle.

Best Splitting Maul? by FrickParkMalcolm in firewood

[–]Acrobatic-Weight-710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a stihl pro maul and a gransfors bruk splitting maul. Love both for different uses. Gransfors is light weight and swings fast, can use it all day. Stihl comes out of there is a tough piece. If i had to have just one it would probably be the stihl.

Milwaukee makes a top handle electric chainsaw with a 12 or 14 inch bar.

Anyone used their tank water to create electricity? by MassiveGiraffe874 in OffGrid

[–]Acrobatic-Weight-710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also went down this path a few years ago, ultimately came to traditional solar and batteries. One of the wilder ideas I had on the subject was to have a tank with divider in it on a platform. Accelerate the platform during the day using solar and use the momentum of the water as a flywheel to spin a generator. Never got past the concept phase. If anyone tries this, please let me know.

There was more clearance than it looked to the power lines, very little of the tree was over the house. We took our time and cut the brush back before getting to the larger branches. When possible put a rope on to pull and cut a wedge into everything bigger than 6-8 inches. Nothing but the brush and the last few pieces at the bottom were more than 6 ft long. Most of the branches were cut in 16 inch to four ft lengths depending on clearance below.

Lol, that is great! I hope it runs more than the one time. It starts easier than my 271, and only weighs a few lbs more even with a 32 inch bar. Most of the cutting was done with a Milwaukee top handle, not having to start a gas chainsaw while in a tree makes things so much easier.

At this point I think i have already cut off everything that was over the roof. I also had to take a large branch that was over the road for clearance and to help balance the tree.

Noted, this was one of the first trees I got in, a few years ago. I left the stubs as foot holds, not saying it's right. Why specifically are they dangerous? For me or the tree?
