Me too. Where was the heads up? This is where I come for the scoop... Slackers.

I'm calling the epa clark.

Jedi, you need to ditch the fam and help a brother out.

BR, I offered to help.


In other news, I still suck at golf.

Ran into Chef Larry and the Mrs tonight at Great Wall Buffet in Portage.

Very awesome. Hopefully a good time for all

 

[Snapdragon]

Yeah. Larry and my BF used to work together at Big R about a million years ago.

Nah no feuds, just curious if I can tell how far back my property goes before the wetlands start. Would like to rip out the crappy landscaping the old owner has that's full of weeds and bring in dirt for more grass area.

When I look up my property it only shows the property line. No info on wetland, flood plane, etc. So it should show your boundaries but not other things. If the wetland is OFF your property you won't know it. If it is on your property you won't know it. Wetlands can extent beyond the 'wet' part of the land.

FYI, golf sucks.

Nothing like dark, warm and muggy.

If you call your county extension agent he will have the wet land maps. If you fill in a wet land and get caught the fines can be very expensive.

Does the heat where you work burn off any of the humidity or just make it worse.

@thug eric
Help with what?

Actually that would be too quick of a way to end them.
Best to build a wall.

National Wetlands Inventory Mapper is here: https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/Mapper.html

This only shows the potential for wetlands to be present, to know for sure a wetland delineation study would have to have been done and signed off by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Thank God we don't look that old. The good old day's when Fred and I had hair.

I know I'll probably have to get a survey or something like that, but I'm pretty sure the area that the old lady had as "landscape beds" if you can call them that, are not in the wetland area. I want to basically rip out the beds and bring in fill for grass. I don't really need landscape beds as the whole back yard is beautiful wetlands. This way I get to enjoy the view, but can squeak out some more grass area.

Just went to compare with GIS and found a "map" for wetlands, its the light blue shaded lines. Looks like I should have room.

 

[jedi]

Cement all of it and remove all trees is the way to go.

Your avatar image looks pretty close...

Worse

 

[actaeon277]

Worse

Today wasn't too bad.
Had to change a pole for the temperature sensor. Takes the temp of steel coming into the Caster.
Air temp was probably between 100 and 110 before the ladle showed up. 2850 deg F tends to raise the air temp a bit. This is the job that sent me to the ER before.

Worse, is working on a crane.
I checked once, it was 179 deg F.
I don't check on cranes anymore. Just makes me hotter.

Another beautiful day in this tropical paradise. Apparently people have a hard time parking cars in reverse. Watched two in little bitty cars do all sorts of open doors and back and forths before getting into a spot at the train station. Funny because the spots are decent sized here.

 

[repeter1977]

Nothing like an extra half hour on the train to start the day. Glad the day is done

Go to the mill. Better pay.
Then you just get stuck on I-65
