I like ur style. I would rec one thing. buy another rod for ur jack. cut the loop off with about 10 inches hanging off. grind it down to about 5/16 shaft. then, u can use a drill on the end of shaft to raise and lower it mucho rapido!!! edit, on the extra rod, those are very standard, u could get one for free at a dealer likely with a porter, or maybe 5 to 10 bucks on ebay or amazon.
This is very dangerous to cut the roots and to add salt because the functioning of the tree is directly related to the functioning of its roots. It could slowly decline and fall after that.
@@dancruz100 You don't need to kill the neighbor's tree. You just kill the root system in the soil in a specific area. Also, new root systems will no longer enter this area. The tree is still alive.
