yazoo,

thats awesome looking hedge there :o
yup i know how to use an 18# sledge,and as far as working cheap goes "nope" i would have to charge atleast
5 no make that 6 staves for a days work lol

if i was close enough to lend a hand i would be glad to,but that would make for one hell of a commute for work the next day
have fun and dont work too hard,well atleast dont let your dad do it all. lol

                                                                   peace,
