Haarbor Freight Truck lift arrives!

Bill Grumbine, Kutztown PA

>Good afternoon all

I am sitting here eating my lunch and reading the forums, and the big brown truck pulled in to leave what my daughter described as a "very large box". I have not hauled my lazy carcass up to see yet, but I suspect it is my Harbor Freight lift.

I am in the middle of some serious landscaping today - our neighbor gave us eight HUGE forsythia bushes, and we got them home this morning. The backhoe is coming later on to dif the trench to put them in. The one root ball weighed over 1000 lbs! How do I know that? It bent the axle on the trailer I was using. :(

But while I am waiting for the backhoe, I think I will assemble this thing. I have a maple log waiting for me that is 24" in diameter and 14' long. There is not a curl to be seen, but it still looks like some nice wood.

>HAd 2 of those things in our yard growing up.

First harbinger of spring( except in Nov 88 when it was so warm they bloomed again.then they didn't bloom the following spring)

Then you get a plain green bush the rest of the year.

Enjoy it!

>And I hope the parcel was the lift you expected. That big log puts me in mind of one of my sons, Gabe (#5). He takes after his brothers as well as the log. Gabe's proportions are about the same as the tree. And, thanks to a renegade gene passed on by his Mom's side of the family, Gabe is bald. "Not a curl to be seen". :<)
