Good Morning Again,
Here is a pic of all the Trex decking I picked up the other day at HD ! Along with the favorite tools I use to rip up the old decking Dennis ! 30 , 12 ft lengths of grooved boards and 6 lengths of plain edge for the outside !

57 this morning forsythia starting to bloom spring is springing, maples are coming out early color everywhere.

Slept but didn’t sleep last night have to sleep on wrong side. Very alone in the house but going to start cleaning up piles.

Hopefully hear some more news on Holly today.

Happy Birthday Drew and many more

Prayers for all our Country

Morning all, 27 going to 53 and sunny.
Got out the saws and bucked the tree that fell on the trail and another one at the edge of my neighbors field. Got most of the trail one cleaned up, more to go still.

Happy Birthday Drew, and many more!

Buppies - hope it's all good news

More trouble with Dads GF last night, had to get hospice and social workers involved.

Be well,

Could not get the little saw to start, will look at that later. Used the 620P. Still looks small in the picture. The dead ash shatter when they hit. Big mess.

Good Evening Dennis ,

Dennis, nothing but hard work, if I don’t say so myself ! The Vermont deck is screwed down, it will be a bear ! I have a couple flat bars and a 3ft wrecking/crowbar ! A back belt should help a lot !

I turned 2 over, bottom looks like new, only stripe of where joist was.
Joist tops look good.

They sure do make a mess Ken be careful

Happy birthday Drew.
Buppies, glad surgery went well. Hope recovery quick. Glad Holly getting help.
Huge tank. Have fun
I have buds on forsythia and lilacs.
Overdo haircut later will mess up my day.
Maybe pop off few more deck boards.

Happy, that is one huge tank ! I’m guessing, 5000 gallons? Sounds like you will be using some gas to cut the ends out !

A sawzall with a good blade works as fast as a torch for cutting up tanks in my experience. Also much less chance of a fire or explosion caused by the previous contents.

I never thought of that. I am going to have help cutting so that would be a good idea for another pair of hands. Thanks PG!!

Yep.

I took a chance on a sawzall in a confined space with lots of dust floating about. I was using an angle grinder which threw too many sparks out for comfort. A welder was out of the question.

To my surprise the sawzall was better than a hot knife through butter. Faster, lighter, no mess and the blade was good enough for a lot more cuts.

Why I did not think of using that sooner, escapes me.

Good Morning Paul,

Yes, absolutely! The owner of the oil business that I drive for does exactly that ! Cuts the old oil tank in half with a sawzall and then cleans all the gunk out before bringing it to the scrap yard!
