Thanks. I wouldn't bid a job without figuring it out first....but being a man down (the right man) has thrown a spanner in the works. The problem is not getting the tree down, its bringing it down in a way that Dave can mange on the ground. I dont want Dave feeling overwhelmed down there with...

That sounds like conventional style negative rigging, while incorporating a zip line to guide the logs to a designated spot ? If so, same as I said earlier, the set up and contiued sequence within the timeframe is not going to work out. Ive rigged thousands of logs that way, but I know with a...

The yard is only about 35 ft to the road. There isnt the room nor means to place an anchor anywhere other than in the one spot, where the VSL will already dump the wood. Unfortunately a concrete path cuts diagnol right across the yard eliminating any other option. I will already have to dump a...

Youve completely lost me there Sean. Youd need to sketch the technique and purpose. I hope to bring the bigger logs down V.S.L. Conventional/negative rigging would be too slow. But the stem does have an unfavorable side lean for VSL. Ill wont know for sure until I get up there. Each log might...

Id say you're about right, 5ft dbh. Pretty basic rigging to get the limbs off, but a depressing amout of big wood to bring down thereafter. I had priced it for 3 of us for the Day, but now Aaron is unavailable for the next few weeks. Its a lot for just me and one other. Mainly because the logs...

Very few big pines out this way. They just never got planted I suppose

Thanks again. I got an ugly one coming. Old tree for the location. Double top, Heavy wood, not much room. Just need to organize the right help and timing.

I would think the house might be worth a million, give or take. But in Victoria itd be 3 times that.

Hes a pilot. She does something else, I cant remember. Theyre perhaps millionaires in assets....but I doubt they have millions in the bank to spend. I recall him telling me years ago they bought the place, gutted and refurbished. Beautiful now, 3 stories. But they worked hard and spent almost...

Thanks all. I agree Butch. Taking the top feels like a milestone. Sean, the Pole was rotten-as. Only the cable holding it up. They didnt want to deal with that. You're right though, would have made the limbs much easier to deal with. Hi Jon. Been trying to keep the vids short if late. You lose...

Tricky one due to the wind and wires, and the house underneath obviously. Had to set the tag line part way up a neighbouring tree to steer the limbs clear of the wires. Beautiful location. Saw a pod of Orcas....but the wind was very cold believe it or not. All the logs cut for firewood. <iframe...
