The maintenance of a property is not always an easy task. Beyond the maintenance of its hedges or shrubs, an owner can face particular situations created by aging or annoying trees. It may happen that a tree that grows on your property comes to represent a danger or a nuisance to such an extent that you have to cut it down.

Cutting down as a last resort

Of course, it should be borne in mind that the removal of a tree is indeed the ultimate solution, the last option to consider. Tying a tree or pruning may represent more affordable options and lead to smaller jobs.

Regulations to cut down a tree on your land

It is understood that any cutting operation must be carried out in accordance with the regulations, the laws in country and a permit must be obtained before proceeding with the work. In a residential environment, anyone wishing to dispose of a tree must take the necessary steps to obtain a permit before starting work. It is the responsibility of this person to obtain the said license before contacting a company working in the field.

How to cut down a tree

Once there, specialists should first choose the right technique for the job. There are two options available to them: foot felling or cutting in section, with or without wiring. Before choosing one or the other options, they will have to analyze the pros and cons of each situation: the slope of the terrain, the size, the age, the state of the tree, etc.

Regardless of the technique chosen, several factors remain crucial. It should be noted at the outset that during the cutting, it is strongly recommended to wear a hard hat, working boots, safety glasses, safety gloves and protective pants for the chain saw. Inevitably, when the tree falls, debris will be violently thrown into the air, which can constitute a serious risk of injury, even for the worker equipped accordingly.

The equipment required to cut a tree

It is worth noting that often the material used in a slaughter is often unknown to the general public. Not only is there a large number of mechanical saws that can be used in cuts, but a professional lumberjack or tree grower can also use tools such as wedges, cables or Ensure effective and safe work. These tools and their functioning are the object of an apprenticeship specific to the industry.

The first tool that is needed is a chainsaw. This will reduce the tree into sections.

After the tree is cut down into sections it will need to be further reduced in order to be hauled away. Get the best rated table saw that you can find to make sure that it can handle a job like this, as it can be pretty intense on the blades.

After that you need a big truck or some other vehicle that is capable of hauling away a lot of weight. If you don’t know anyone that has a truck then you can always just rent a u haul.

Lets face it, nobody likes to clean their fish tank. I have one and it is a royal pain in the ass. If you don’t have an easy clean fish tank then you can always get a species of fish that will clean your tank for you. I’ll go over a few of these below.

The Gato is one of the most commonly used species for tropical aquariums. They are very efficient at cleaning the aquarium, as they run the whole bottom looking for any food scraps, except for the decomposing food.

The Hypostomus Plecostomus is a variation of the catfish, which also helps in cleaning the bottom of the aquarium, especially by eating and devouring all the algae it finds in its path. This activity takes place during the night, since during the day this type of fish needs to take hide out. In addition, it must be taken into account that it is a species of considerable size, which is why it will be necessary that it has enough space to swim around the tank and grow properly.

The Clownfish is a mostly used to maintain good hygiene in the aquarium, and often act as tank cleaners. With it, the cleaning is guaranteed and, in addition, it will kill those snails that are born between the decorative elements and to beautify the fish tank with its striking and radiant colors. It is ideal for freshwater aquariums.

Also, always seek the help of a professional, since you must be careful when introducing this type of fish in your aquarium.

Was on a trip to Lake Norman over in North Carolina to visit some friends and figured I would blog about the area as it is quite nice.  The area of Cornelius is very close to Lake Norman so you can just drive on over to the lake and setup pretty much all day with your friends.  It does get a bit cold this time of year but it is still very pretty out. Lake Norman was created in 1963, by closing off the Catawba River. Lake Norman has roughly 500 miles of shore, and Cornelius has the highest amount of this shore in all the districts of the lake (about 70 miles).

Other than the lake you can go out and hit the town with good friends.  There are a lot of fun bars in the city and  there are lots of college students around as there are a few good universities in the Charlotte area.

What Makes Cornelius Special?

One of the things that makes Cornelius special is that it is a thriving place for small business.  I know people that own companies here.  One owns a carpet cleaning company that services Cornelius and the surrounding areas.  If you ever want to have a home service company then Cornelius is a good place to start as it has that small town feel and people look out for each other.

Random Facts

The city is only around 15 square miles and has a population of around 30,000 people.  The town was founded in 1893 and has a history of cotton weighing. The city is home to a championship golf course and has a wide variety of parks.
