remove the stump was just as much as the cost to remove the tree.


Damn, that’s highway robbery.

We charge $6 per inch.

20” stump would be $120, no matter where it is in the yard or what utilities are near it.

Magnolias are one of the easiest trees to climb on planet Earth.







Too many unknown variables to give you an estimate.

Can the tree just be felled?

Does it have to be climbed?

Is there anything underneath it - fences, houses, garages, sidewalks, irrigation, power lines, etc.?

Such a burly platform for a prop plane.

Rad bird; much firepower.

Established trees can be typically trimmed up to a third of their total mass each season.

It should survive.

If squirrels can strip bark from oak trees, the tree(s) are already in decline from something else - fungus, bugs, root rot.

fricking sweet.

I love the olive drape in that canopy section window pane.

Super cool detail that you can still see through all the glass.

Clean build; proud work.

MOAR Trivia:

During the theme park cocaine negation with Pinchot, Clarence uses a ‘so do I look like a bitch with bigs tits? So you wanna frick me?’ dialogue.

Very close dialogue is also used in the Pulp Fiction, Big Kahuna burger scene.

Tarantino has so many Easter eggs.

Little known fact:

Drexl in True Romance uses the phrase: "From a diddled-eyed Joe, to a damned if I know". In which other Tarantino film is the same phrase used and by whom?
Mr Orange's mentor in Reservoir Dogs.
I launched that Avenger in yard a few times. The balsa frame needed way better aerodynamic sanding before I put the paper on and painted it.

It flew less than one second flight with almost 100 prop turns on the rubber band. The pros have these cool rubber band turners with counters.

Anyway, tough choice between P47 and FW, for me.

Go FW with a wild camo scheme.

P47 are pretty drab.
My vote is for one of the WWII prop planes you have.

Those old motor sounds and the guys behind the stick just pushing the limits of aviation behind propellers.

Here’s my Avenger. One of the first Guillows balsa, paper and rubber band propellor planes that I ever built.

She is rough.

Giant canopy.

Your Avenger is light years beyond mine. Cheers.

Three way gunfight is pretty fricking badass.
Both my uncle and my father were graduated from Istrouma.

My grandparents owned an house on Ontario street.

I remember the going to the house as a kid.

My grandmother never got a drivers license because she could get everywhere on the city bus.

But that was in the ‘60s. Everyone worked at Exxon.

White flight was real from that area.

Pretty nutty, honestly, the devolution that has occurred.
