Update on the "Discount Tree Service": They were back today, a block away deadwooding 85 to 90 foot pin oaks (five of them) around a house with their 60 foot reach bucket truck. It's an older couple who have never done anything to maintain their trees and I'd be more upset about the state they...

Willard, That picture of me on the maple trunk with an early helmet doesn't tell the whole story. Back then many helmets had no chin strap. There was another crew working next door to where we were and a fellow cutting up a downed log apparently started to plunge cut under the log to avoid...

Earliest picture I have easily at hand is from 1987. At that time that helmet was at least five years old. I didn't replace them as often back then. And there were a lot of tree folk who made fun of me for wearing it.

Most of the stubs below him were left from the home improvement crews early attempts at taking the tree down yesterday.

Day Two: Headed out this fine day to find the "Discount Tree Service" on the site, with their truck proudly advertising their penchant for "Topping" trees: The Home Improvement fellows get to live another day, though they don't get a lesson on proper use of PPE:

Walked up the road this evening and it appears they did not get much more down since the earlier photo. We'll see what transpires tomorrow, as I'll be working in the neighborhood.

tntree: The 'climber' looked a good bit more than nervous. I'm curious to see how far they got when I go past in the morning. With an update picture, of course...

yep, we are blessed with ash, oak, maple, sweet gum, elm, walnut, hickory, beech, birch, and many other less-staining rounds for seating out here

Those are two of about eight rounds for seating for the children at Margaret's Home Day Care next door to where they are taking the maple down. Margaret had some trees removed years ago, and others cabled so her yard would be safe for day care. Her original rounds for sitting upon had rotted...

I won't work "for or with" the likes of them. I will advise and counsel as to proper and safe tree care/removal. If they get the small stuff down and are at a loss as to finishing, and IF they call they'll get a quote for the remaining part of the removal and the homeowner will have to agree...

Couldn't pass this up - Six men taking apart a maple tree from over a house down the road. Their trucks say "Ed Stanley - Home Improvements" In the picture you see them in action: Foreman is on the upper roof directing, one fellow on ladder (not tied in) with electric stick saw, one fellow...
