Phase 3 Photos

Final chapter...

Frank Sinatra offers his reporting on the matter. January 2, 2022, the tree comes down. Yes, you may have already seen this quick video.

#1 First cut · #2 Peeking through · #3 Old sign gets trimmed up

#4 Muscles Rick, Jim, Terry and Jeff begin to set the sign. Sadly it is determined the interior of the sign is in worse shape than we thought.

#5 Since there is enough lumber from the tree to make a new sign, the log was cut and its pieces needed to be moved around. Ray O'Brien saves the day with his loader. Thank you RAAAAYYYY!

#6 Rigging to make the first cut.

#7 First cut successful. Jeff sharpens his blades for the second cut. The wood is in PERFECT condition.... PERFECT CONDITION!!! Whihooo!

#8 Second cut successful. Coraline, Frank's sister, supervises the work. Shows us we "missed a spot." (not)

#9 Old Sign on New Sign. A PERFECT FIT. PERFECT width FIT! Can Divine Intervention be ANY MORE OBVIOUS TODAY???

#10 Trimming up the opening for the new sign. · #11 Leverage. Push. Wiggle. · #12 More hands on deck. This took quite a few attempts. · #13 Pete workin' hard.

We are on schedule... sorta ...slight delay

To do: #1 Transport sign to new contractor in Truckee. Transport sign back to Timberland property. Paint/stain. #2 Firm up date for Crane for installation. #3 Assemble sign to new post; grunt, push, wiggle n giggle. #4 Arrange Cal Trans/Sheriff for traffic control the day of installation. #5 Installation. I will keep you posted on installation date.
