Tree Trimming Time Anyone who owns a home that has trees knows that if left unattended trees can get out of hand. The tree's roots and branches will continue to grow and grow. They cover your yard, completely blocking it from sunlight which can kill your grass. If the tree limbs get too big and bulky, they are liable to snap and cause property damage. Also, if the trees get large and out of control they can get into power lines or damage your house. As a homeowner, you cannot allow this to occur. So, when the branches do start to get out of control, you have to go out and trim the limbs off of the tree. This is a task that will no doubt leave you with a bunch of downed branches that you must drag to the side of the road and wait for bulk pick up to take away.   A Better Solution Throwing all of that wood away really seems like a waste.

New Rig Site Those in the oilfield know the same old routine. When a new drill site has been discovered, all of the equipment goes out to the area and is set up. The site will remain set up for several months while that site is drilled for oil. Men will work, eat, and sleep on this site for days on end to produce that black gold that is so vital to our North Texas economy. Everything is on site. There are barracks, roads, food trucks and caters, and of course the rig. The drill site is its own self-sufficient enclosed community. The first stage to this vital component of the oilfield industry is to get the job site set up and prepared to take on the rig and work barracks. Setting the New Rig Site Up It is not so easy that one can just drive to the site and set the rig up. Most of these sites are located on someone’s land. This means that there are no roads to the site, and the area is overgrown with bushes and trees. To get this rig going there is a specific order of operation...
