The last pines was cut down and my Oaks are planted, prepped with the plant food is mixed in the soil. I only had to stake the Valley Oak. The Bur Oak was a bit more mature and had a stronger trunk.
Both tress I had left in the pots the past week and were a bit dry because they were dropped off earlier than I expected and could not get the time to plant them.
The Bur Oak's roots had gone through the bottom of the planting pot so I had to cut the pot off.
The biggest issue was digging through and weeding all of the roots from the trees I had cut down.
I gave them a generous watering without turning it into a swamp and with the food I left in the soil plus the food tablet from the Sacramento Tree Foundation and constantly keeping the trees watered I should be able to resuscitate them.
I am also closer to making my new system the primary system once I move all of my critical data to the drives. I moved one of my drives I took off of my music server and placed it on my new system. I moved the drives to the place they will be permanently on the system until my next hardware upgrade! Most of the applications are already loaded and everything is working fine.
I will post my old system and new system specs later. I am however moving from a 478 P4 to an AMD 64 bit system with an Adaptec 39160 and some screaming drives. The new system is very fast!
