You say that, but I just read the Bathroom Remodel thread so I know how that'll end :P

When I say "low-volume", I mean that I do it for both the exercise portion, and the fact that I like to have bonfires (well, maybe more like campfires, idk) from Fall through Spring. I'm not actually heating my house with it, so it's basically just a hobby.

That being said, I have to agree - I think my favorite spring-loaded one was this ancient Russian guy's contraption:

This isn't the video I first saw about it, but it was the only one I could find at the moment.

I do know how to weld, though, so if I ever end up with a house with at least a half-acre plot, I'll likely end up doing some sort of assembly project.

post an ad in the paper for DEAD TREE REMOVAL and let the liabilty sell itself to you!

You jest, but if I had enough money to acquire the proper equipment, I would definitely do that as a side-gig. Although like all manual labor, I'm sure it'd tear my body up relatively quickly, so it's hard to say how long I would even put up with doing it as a side-gig.

It's certainly more engaging to me than pushing numbers around in spreadsheets, though, I'll give it that.

you'll probably need less equipment than you think, your region is probably experiencing a mass die-off of street trees and you'll be doing a public service if you assist in storm clean-up. A hand saw and a flat bed to move the wood in, you're golden.

Hell, if you reach out to the public service dept of your city and ask about volunteering for street debrits removal, they'll probably call you when they've got more than they can handle.

Twice this year alone I had to ask a neighbor to haul off a log which was keeping me from getting to the comic store to pick up my monthly hentai crate, it's a real market.

like honestly we're past the point where forests are a net carbon negative. sequestration needs to focus on rapid growth grasslands to prevent futher soil degridation at a mimimum, building up to wildflower pasture within 1-2 years.

edit- street pressure and pollution also does a number on conifers, apropos of nothing else. rising water table and increased salinity near the coast, also.

Welcome to 3F, basically our largest and most militant labour union. They also assist non-unionized foreign workers that are preyed upon by their employers(often housed in absolute hovels, paid almost nothing, have their passports taken away, etc. after being promised unionized rates and treatment prior to coming to Denmark) with getting unioned up and legally protected.

They are very, very good lads.

This has brought a tear to my eye. Time to ping my lead about getting put on the negotiating committee.

Also, what do y'all think the Least Bad Failure for that jury-rigged hoist is? If one of the chains snapped and dropped the engine straight down, the engine would be hosed but I don't think the LPG containers would explode.

OSHA thread, I have a question. Let's say there's a hill, 200 yards wide by 300 yards long. The middle rises to a 60' mound, we can assume a uniform shape, roughly triangular pyramidal in design. How long would it take an average construction team with modern equipment to excavate that area, to a depth of 60'?

Edit- For context, there's 5,400,000 ft of earth to be excavated down to ground level, then an additional 32,400,000 below that. Ground condition is sloped and marshy, with a series of large stones on the top of the hill and around one edge of the field.

so, okay, there's one perhaps small detail which should be mentioned. in addition to the ground conditions being soggy, there's a slight chance that underneath the mound there's a, what do you call it, tomb. slight chance of tomb. i don't know what the digsafe code for that is, but let's just imagine this is an area with no labor laws nor conservation of antiquities. maybe these crews are even paid extra to gently caress up the tomb, just for spite. maybe.

so at least some of those sq ft of space will be occupied by "tomb" rather than "wet dirt." however that impacts calculations.

and, before you ask? it's a normal tomb. nothing creepy or bad or horror related about it at all. just a nice, safe, normal tomb, without any wandering monsters at all.

edit- yup just tryin to get some quotes for remodeling my summer vacation tomb that's all. no reason to investigate this much at all.
