The Daily Yardman Thread

[Pumper54]

Tom,

What do they call the countryside brush out your way, Chaparral? I 'think' that is a Mexican word that means "piss-poor browse". It amazes me that deer live in Texas at all, never mind in the numbers they do! Nothing to eat but cactus and creosote bush. It's no wonder they seek out better forage in people yards. The same thing happens in Maine during a hard winter. They will slip out of the deer yards at night and devour Yew trees like they are candy! Almost any ornamental shrub is also in jeopardy.

I haven't seen them eating any fake leaves yet, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Rog,
I live in East Texas, land of the pine trees and swamps. You are thinking of West Texas where there is more brown then green. Right now my "subdivision" house yard is made up of grass around the house, rose beds along the fence line by one street, a piss poor maple tree (supposed to be red maple but it is not) in the front, roses around my shop, privets in front of the house, pine trees and yaupon holly trees/bushes in the side yard with some mixed hardwood trees in there somewhere. At our farm in Deep East Texas we grow grass in the pasture and 18 acres of southern yellow pine along with a bunch of under brush and hickory trees. Will try to p[ost a picture or two of the house.
Tom

Re: TO RON

Ron,

I knew my timing on that last was off.. I posted it to hopefully follow my previous post, but you slipped one in between. when I saw that I realized it wasn't going to sound right, and I almost deleted it - probably should have, as I actually didn't find anything better to do until way into the afternoon.

So I will eat crow and officially apologize to you, even though I didn't intend it the way it came across. Please forgive my rude dismissal of our running conversation yesterday. I feel very badly for slighting you and will more than likely go to my grave with a feeling of shame.. (Please picture me with my head hanging down, shamefaced.)

Sincerely.

Roger

RON,

I REALLY am SORRY! HONEST!!!

Hey, Skipper...
Not to worry !
I have been slighted by lesser people than you!

Now, If Boobot were to brush me off...................

Hilti is not the HILTI it used to be Bosch is better way better................

Admittedly I purchased an "economy" rotary hammer from Bosch, but,
as I have a limited number of holes to punch, as long as it works I will have gotten my $$$$$ worth out of it.

I have a DeWalt "hammer drill" that worked great for 3/16" holes for tapcons,
but had a real rough time with the larger holes.
We had hammer drill rated carbide bits glowing red from the friction of futility
when we apparently struck aggregate in the slab.................
We even caused the disintegration of several carbide tips altogether.

Hopefully the Bosch will pound its way thru the stuff........
