That's a shame, I hate losing the old ones. Looks like a red oak and rot right up the middle. I was going to suggest a fireplace mantle, but with that rot in the middle and the punky ( dead ) wood around the outside, you might have to think of something smaller. Oaks trees are so much more majestic when they grow in a field verses in the woods. The limbs spread out so wide to show off their beauty, that they never could, fighting for real-estate in the woods. On a positive note, he'll serve you one last time with wonderful heat in your new fireplace. What do they say, something like a tree heats you many times, cutting it, stacking it, hauling in the house, burning it and hauling out the ashes. Enjoy the process.

Fireplace mantle is exactly what we are thinking if we can make it happen.

Agree these oaks need their space. We are looking for good 3 point wood chipper to chip all the small 3-4” trees that are starving others in the woods.

I have skid steer mulcher and it works ok but we would be more effective pulling them with skid steer them mulching, saving the mulch to use around garden and house.

Old car port coming down today which saved our cars from many dents from hail through the years. For new home, it has to go!

Good family work outside which makes for a great day! Even with skid steer for big stuff this is quite a bit of work.

You can get a fork attachment for the skid steer to lift Cruiser tires for suspension flex

ANGRY PIG Still Nasty

Non pig question here. The 79 F150 had decent fuel leak around the filter close to carb. Maybe 500 miles since install.

Tension on fuel line to filter pretty good and you can see by the ports on fuel filter they are bent.

New longer fuel line and filter place with no tension on it. However, does this look like best place to install fuel filter, seems like things could get dicy with the heat generated?

Son has a Mercury, metal filter on the inner fender, that seems a bad spot for a plastic filter for sure.

It’s maybe 5” above the fuel pressure regulator.

Thats suppose to be a hard line from the pump to carb. Put a metal 1 in.
