Weeeee. Having fun here.
The mean ol boss's wife had me outside early to lift the 200 pound (OK, my mom told me a million times not to exaggerate) so the really heavy concrete statue on top of the fountain base so I could plug in the pump. It is on the verge of a limit of my old geezer strength. The hose that goes from the bottom of the statue to the top was full of an ant's nest. They were evicted in the vertical water slide.
There was a large sycamore tree in the neighborhood association green belt that was planted 35 years ago or so. It was large and a pretty tree, but the dummies that planted put it too close to one of the houses. The roots were starting to cause foundation damage on their house. So the association paid to have the tree removed, and stump and roots ground out.
The same homeowner had a Bradford pear tree that they cut down after storm damage. They had the two son in laws do it, and they are as much as a lumberjack as I am. They left a stump 24 inches across and 18 inches tall. I sent them a text and suggested they talk to the guy removing the tree. His equipment is 30 feet from the pear tree stump. They got a good price quote, and it goes as well. They thanked me and the tree guy thanked me.
Then on another block of our neighborhood one block over, home owner had a tree they cut down partially, and the tree guy is doing that one. The tree guy thinks I am a hero as I recommended him to remove the sycamore tree. He is having a busy day. He has his stump grinder, and the tree limb shredder busy.
