Getting ready to raise a glass on my brothers birthday. He would have been 42 today. You can see him at 1:50 here (not gory), killing terrorists in Fallujah as a Marine Scout Sniper:

I'll raise one for your bro.
Mine wouldve been 43. Birthday was last 23 November, but he died 16 May. Guess he's just on my mind. Not so glorious. He died from Leukemia. Acute. Didnt know he was sick til 3 days before.
Missed my opportunity to serve. Tried. Couldnt pass the physical for the Corpse.
He didnt try. Come from a long line of service personnel.
I feel like I was denied a rite.
All due respect for your bro from the ones he helped keep free.

Half the crown is over the neighbors yard on the other side of a 6' privacy fence. I'm looking forward to it. I get paid to climb maybe a dozen really cool trees like this a year. Be a nice break from wrecking sick blue spruces.
*f-word them sticky things. 90% of the trees I've killed were large hardwoods. Stihl hate maples... cut you to bits.
Lmao doing pretty good. Got my chipper knives sent off to Bailey's today for a fresh grind. How are you doing tonight slacker?
I need to send out my knives. An asshat feed a steel rebar to my chipper last week. Picked two pieces of steel out of his brush pile and wire. I always ask first and was assured no metal. He gets a bill tomorrow for 150 or the machine leaves and never returns there. Done with that BS.
Dude's gonna turn it into hardwood flooring for his big ghey man cave. I tried to talk him into not cutting the tree down. He decided he didn't mind the 50% dumbazz tax I added to the bid:roto2nuse:
Charge him double plus dumbazz tax!
For sure. Everything over 10" gets cut to 8'6" sections. Dude says he's going to take care of the branches himself. Bet he'll regret that statement when he sees the metric chit ton of branches there really is in that top! He's not going to like the price I quote if he asks me how much the clean up the mess after the fact either.
Extra 150 to bring the chipper back and double the hourly rate for cleaning up his fugged up brush pile mess he left you :D
Yeah I'm guessing he hasn't really thought that one through.
Ya think...
Okay guys, need some construction advice.

I want to mount some privacy screen at the end of the deck by the hot tub. Suggestions on support? Do I go 4x4 lagged to the deck rim like the railing ? What type/ length of fasteners?
Through carriage bolts, 1/2" with fat washers and a piece to pack out the post to meet the rail rim. Trust me... been there done that. Wind loads matter.

Yeh, whut he sed.

Ive fugged up enough *s-worde here to know its better to ask and then do it right than to not ask and do it over.
My dad told me a long time ago that whatever I got, id have to get on my own.
It's been a bish of a learning curve, but I'm getting there. At least I aint gotta ask him...

Some pictures of what you have to work with would be a help Gary. Through bolting probably isn't a bad idea like Ken said. Especially if it's gonna catch wind.
