Pictures from a skid steer mowing contractor

She is about 75 years old and wanted it demoed and moved about 100 yards into a hole to be burnt with brush, I suspect it would have been pretty tough for her to do it.

Makes sense. She's lucky to know somebody that would do it for her!!!

I'm also glad she had you around.

And this is where the demographics are working against us in a lot of places. The number of older folks going up, and the number of younger folks going down.

She is a regular customer and keeps me busy usually several times a year, I often times do little jobs for her on the way by for free, it always works out, she never has minded paying me and she pays me extra most of the time, she says she likes me because I always do what I tell her and a couple of times she has had little emergencies like a tree blocking her in or her pump quit and she had no water I went and got her back going, it's pretty amazing how many older people don't have anybody to lean on.

It's nice to have a good business and also friendship situation like that. Everybody wins.

Had to go load and haul a bull to the market for someone first thing this morning, then it was back to another fence row cleanout , this is all hand work so I used the Milwaukee brush cutter attachment to cut the thick thorny vines that had taken over parts of the fence row. I have most of the barb wire out and will start on the rest of the trees that need to be removed later this week, hope everyone has a safe and productive week. Charlie.

Yeah, I have most of it out and the customer wants me to build a new one but I really don't like fencing but I will do it if she can't find someone dependable.

A little WET Friday morning job, this customer was having problems with snakes coming up in her back yard and wanted me to clean up a perimeter outside of her fence, I told her it was extremely wet but I would do what I could, most of the stuff in the fence line is growing between 2 fences so I could only do so much but I got her a little relief. There are several piles of fence wire and scrap metal a boat and old junk that she wants me to clean up and put in a roll off dumpster but I told her it needs to dry up some and then we will get it, here are a few pictures but they don't come close to showing how thick and wet that this job was.

So if deer fence keeps the deer out...is there anything that discourages snakes?

Maybe not 100%, but something that makes it less interesting to go that way for a snake?

Sharp gravel...a 3' solid barrier, a driveway with shell fragments???

There could be some money in it, if the right solution were found!

Moth balls, DE, avian predators, but I think the best bet is removal of rodents that they eat.

Also, and you can't do it legally, but getting rid of the dang gopher turtles; their burrows are home to rattle snakes.

I've always heard lime will keep snakes away.
