This is a bummer

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

Had tornado like winds yesterday and turned destructive. Check out the swing

[pj550v12]

Damn that stinks. Looks like some of the stone got damaged too, shame. Well I guess just look at the bright side and consider yourself lucky it wasn't the house or one of the trucks

[oakhillslandscaping]

OUCH!!! thats to bad, at least you kno a good landscaping company that can take care of it for you hahaha

[Jeff W]

That is one well built swing!!!

[DLAWNS]

Damn, that sucks! I'm glad everyone is okay.

[JosephLawnCare]

Wow that sucks. Mother nature at her best.

[LawnTamer]

What time is it when a tree falls on your swing?
































Time to get a new swing.



Sorry, couldn't resist.... Sorry about your swing though.

[CLARK LAWN]

this is from a wind storm we had last march. they had to demo the house.

[DUSTYCEDAR]

how do you like the vermeer 600 i was looking at getting one

[MJS]

Man, that stinks. . . but at least it fell on the tallest structure in the garden, right? :hammerhead:
Whew, that happened to me last year - maple tree fell on my chain link fence. That was the end of that fence panel. . .

[Junior M]

That sucks, we got that same windstorm, I came home and our well rock was down the street and water was shooting out of the well ;) Turned out it had just broke the sophet off..

[lawn crafters]

[Lawn Freak]

Man that really sucks! Good luck on re construction

[SIWEL]

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

Nah, I was thinkin a limb thru that pond liner would be worst. New swing design in the works:)Would like to have that Dogwood back though:cry:

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

this one to the left

[lifetree]

Just say a prayer of thanks that no one was hurt !!

[Jusmowin]

Well atleast youll have some nice firewood !

[Jason Rose]

That was a damn nice looking swing! I'm jealous of your backyard!

Also jealous of how GREEN everything is there in the dead of winter.

Best of luck getting everything rebuilt and back the way it was. Hopefully you have time to get it done.

[NEWGUYRI]

Thats horrible, I saw your thread on this project and it is absolutly stunning

[TomberLawn]

I saw about 4 trees or big limbs pushed out of the road on my way home Wednesday. That sure was a windstorm. One of my professors had a tree fall on his car, but it didn't do much damage. Must not have been a big tree.

That wind kept me awake almost all night. I have a motion activated flood light outside my bedroom window and the tree branches waving in the wind kept tripping it all night. Plus the wind was really loud too!

[02DURAMAX]

That Sucks!

[riverwalklandscaping]

at least you have the means to fix it at a low cost. many homeowners would be out big time $$$ to hire someone to redo that

[RedMax Man]

Woohoo insurance claim:dizzy::hammerhead:

nah just build a bigger better one.

sorry bout the loss.

[Lawn_Boy]

Atleast the chromed out walker wasn't harmed!

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

Nah, but it got worst yesterday. VN was loading logs in a 30yd dumpster with the T190, a piece rolled off the back of the bucket and he ended up with a lap full of glass. Door glass gone:cry:

[Coastal Lawn Maintenance]

this was evidently not your week for things to go right sorry about the loss of that nice swing

[Nick's Lawn Care]

Hello

I have been reading your posts for quite a while and you guys do AMAZING work. You guys really go down to the very last speck on your work. Keep it up.

Nick

PS your guys should really be wearing chaps and glasses while running chainsaw's....

[DLAWNS]

That's scary. When I worked at a company a few years back I started using a Bobcat to load things into a dumpster like I was told. Well, apparently someone thought they latched the bucket on and it looked like it was but it was broken. So as I lift the bucket it swings back and shatters the glass door and falls to the ground. It scared the sh*t out of me. I sat there in shock with glass all over me for like five minutes. Just thought I'd share.

[Jason'sLawnCare]

It's a good excuse to bring out all the toys. Just kidding. Sorry that happened.

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

New one under construction:) Went with the rain free style this time. Now we can have a flat screen to watch while swangin.:)

[RedMax Man]

Are you gonna install any lighting on it?

Comming along nice.

[RedMax Man]

ya recessed lighting with a dimmer switch would be good. paint the ceiling sky blue. that would be snazzy. we did both to our farmers porch on the house.

[TXNSLighting]

When i go to North Carolina next month, on the way i need to stop by your house and check out this magnificent piece of work!

[Lawn_Boy]

Yea, thought I might do some Mood lighting on it:laugh:

You don't plan on using it to smooch on mrs. prez do you?!

[fastcat]

[DLAWNS]

It's looking good. Can't wait to see the finished results.

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

Some pics of new swing from today. Tomorrow will be fresh mulch, TV, and a little more lighting. Wind blew like crazy this evening and we had our fingers crossed:)
I figured a Doge or Chev wouldn't haul that load:laugh:
Them flagstone were heavy:cry:

[Jason Rose]

When you and your guys are done farting around in your yard feel free to come on over. I'd love to have a backyard that looked like yours!

Are you just a little slow right now? (keeping everyone busy at your place)

Definately looks good. I wish I had the energy to do that kind of stuff on my own.

[Chestnut Oaks Prez]

a couple more with new plants and peagravel path.
Any you guys seen any of these (last pic) yet? Seems early:confused:
