Bing, something to keep in mind is this. If the stove can be secured to the pallet, then sides are only needed for protection to the product. UPS will take the stove tied / or strapped to the pallet, and then shrink wrap the heck out of the stove. This offers light protection, and a place to secure the bill of lading while in transit.

It you want more than that, build a light cover frame from 1x1, then shrink wrap around that.


In any case, have the person prepping the pallet not only secure the bill of lading to the top, but also take a permanent marker and write that number on the wood. this way if the lable get torn off, they still know what they have to work with.

This is what I learned while shipping engines with freight companys.

robbed??</end quote></div>

Keep in mind, this was the first foosball game I have watched in a really long time from start to finish.

I don't think that robbed is the appropriate term for the outcome.

The Giants defense should have gotten the MVP award for the game. They played far better than Eli Manning played. I do not agree with awarding the winning teams quarterback with the MVP award. The defense was far more valuable than Mr Manning was. It wasn't Manning that held the Pats to near record low yardage in the first half. The Giants defense won that game. The Pats simply got schooled in my unprofessional foosball opinion.

Kym, that's awesome news. I can't wait to see final pictures.

I had about 1 inch of snow this morning. I left my house at 5:30 and by the time I got to Snohomish there was nothing on the ground so I'm sure DJ did just fine. Justin called me alittle bit ago and was curious as to how long it took me to get to work. When I told him there was nothing in Snohomish he was shocked. He said cars where everywhere.

I was working on my house while catching most of the game, looked like to me the Giants played with alot of heart and just plain won the game fair and square, but then, I know you were just kidding [img][/img]</end quote></div>

Yeah, I was just kidding, but I was hoping for the pat"s to win for the whole perfect season thing.

I don't know how tight I'm going to mow the field, but I'm going to make it as nice as possible. It will be cleared of rocks and such, I'll probably just throw weed-n-feed out there to keep the weeds down and eventually have a rough lawn.



I've posted some satellite photos, before and after shots...

If those yellow lines are the property lines you have a bunch of trees and brush to maintain as well as the open area. Have you considered a small tractor with a bucket on the front? You could do your own leveling and use a chainlink fence section with weights for a drag to smooth things out. Properly done this would leave you an area easily mowed with a garden tractor, not a riding mower, or a mower deck for the small tractor. Lots of attachments available like rototillers, blades, harrows, cement mixers and sprayers. Take a look at the Kabota web site, they can vacuum your wallet real well. And you can have fun while they do it. Those little tractors are really handy around a place like that for ongoing landscaping and maintenance projects.

If your going to be a gentleman farmer you might as well do it up right.

i'm gonna have to second the tractor idea [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] REALLY wishing we had one right about this time, got home from work today & HOLY CHIT my driveway is now DONE [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] the concrete truck & pumper totally buckled the asphalt, & there is sooooooo many huge truck tracks in the dirt/mudd, looks like we'll be having to replace the whole driveway all the way to the top [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
We are going to borrow Ron's dad's tractor once the construction is done, it has a bucket on front & back ([img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] can't remember what it's called haha) it's gonna be ALOT of work that's for sure

THANKS WQ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I took some more pics today, I'll have to try to post them

DM

If we did any damage to property putting in contract work we had to pay to fix it. It's part of the contracting game, kind of like First Aid, first do no harm. You might check your homeowners insurance as well.

Please! Don't quote this, I forgot to unsubscribe it and the edit won't let me.
