Saw this come up for purchase. Tad pricey. But the design intrigues me (except the telescoping feature) and Lock n Lube stuff is generally good quality...
Finally got around to getting some video of things more recent. I am not a big one on sitting at a computer and rendering this stuff, splicing it all together and what not.
SO we had this leaning ponderosa on a property we had both Dave and Deva help us with. Deva prepped two this size on the...
I shared some of the pictures we took recent of a job we did with a big ol dead tree on a slope above the hwy near us. Well, the HOs took pictures and sent me a nice thank you note and a disk of pictures. Thought I might share some with you. Had some rigging involved due to the house and hwy...
Hey all.
Since the store owner is talking about no printing any more hats or shirts at one of our little liquor stores, I thought it appropriate to buy the last hat. Then let you guys duke it out in a raffle to raise some Christmas Cheer for the Tree House. Proceeds, in other words, will be...
So.... some of you have been following my little project. I thought maybe my learning curve could help some of us shade tree mechanics that get stuck having to do some of our own work.
Pretty much my plight up here. I guess the closest Vermeer or Bandit service is about 3 hours out. Hell...
45 dead trees on one acre.. All within reach of houses, street, power lines, septic systems, water and other utilities.
Trying to save all she had left in the way of green trees. Some fruit and ornamentals as well.
Pretty much make the dead smaller to fit, climb and rig most of them.
Largest...
So Rob's parents had pretty much spent the summer on property helping with garden harvest and providing grandchildren with hours of amusement.
We had one of our larger ponderosa pine die out and PG&E was riding our arses to let them remove it. 30 or so feet from the primaries, really no biggie...
Yes, I finally popped my crane cherry. :yes:
The removal was a call from a new client that we had started work on. Seems an oak failed over her dog kennels, and luckily for the critters, hung up in some tree on the other side.
Not really a straight forward removal as I figured out the mechanics...
There was some good video taken at the meeting.
My favourite speaker was the Forest Pathologist in part 3.
Just thought I would share this as it does pertain to tree health and conditions important to us all.
Get a cup of coffee, or a glass of your favourite beverage and sit back...

HO snapped some shots of the tree yesterday, but forgot today's prune job :( He took bunches of pictures. I should get more eventually. One could hope anyway lol.. Base hollow with bee hive and about every limb hollow. She still stands.
Some fodder of the ......
Who Smaked the Dog House..........
Soooooooooo......
I have recently retired a portion of my 1/2 stable braid rigging line and am soon to retire my 9/16ths line that has really done some work over the last couple years. Especially the last 12 months.
Soooooooo
Ordered 300 feet of the 14 mm Teufelberger Sirus line in...
This oak was all tangled in two trees and the HO wanted it down and leave the trees it was hung in.
Cracked all the way through, I put a couple of binders on it. I set a high rigging point in a neighbouring tree and had Katy add some tension using a 2-1 on the porty.
I could access the nasty...
HOs we did a couple pines for sent these to us from a while back. They just live right behind us, so we had a family day killing some pine.
Guy had a nice camera and I had to down size them a bit to fit in here.
Enjoy.. Was a great fall day :)
Ok... So I have some of the pictures edited... Holy moly... 2nd day and my butt is beat.
I still don't have day two's pictures done yet.
So... Dead oak over house, walls, patio, arbor, driveway, service.... Multi level yard.
One decent 3' gate to get material out of.
Mini won't go through it...
Well.... Got a seal kit for the drive motor..
Pulled the track...
Got the nut off the wheel...
Started pulling the wheel and I am a cundrum hair close to breaking the push bolt on the puller.
Heated the wheel and tried some PV blaster....
Any suggestions? Tad frustrated ](*,):scratch:
Hey Scott (treesmith).. Here are the pics of the KK lowering devise I bought from Dave (thattreeguy) a while back..
No it is NOT for sale. This thing just loves catching wood :)
It goes out every so often to larger TD's
Sorry these pics took so long to get....
This just caught my eye.. I am thinking the 6 footer would be cool to have in the tree.

I had this respectable interior live oak to do on my books from a couple months ago. We got rained out and then the HO's were out of town. Our day care provider, her hubby, brother in law and dad we do a lot of stuff for in trade and some cash. Day care is expensive and the hubby will do some...
