    Big snow brings fun work

    It was funner this way. Cutting it up would have been dicey. It would have required at least one line to work off, as the tree couldn't have been used for stability while walking around. The snow wouldn't allow branches (and probably not the wood either) to be rolled or tossed off. We had to...

    Big snow brings fun work

    Big snow brings fun work

    OK, so, as I said we'd do, Mike climbed the hemlock and set a block. I'd thrown a line in at 60 feet, from the roof, and Mike set the block, through a retrievable. But I felt it wasn't high enough to give us a good line angle, so asked Mike to climb up and set the rigging higher, which he did...

    Big snow brings fun work

    Relax, boys. We started late, hoping to miss the rain. It worked. It had just stopped when we arrived. Just after we got the 59 foot top off the house and down, and I stowed my cameras, it started drizzling. It took close to an hour to derig everything, and cut the 40 foot snag down (that I was...

    Big snow brings fun work

    Thanks to Andy (lakeside_53 from AS), we were called to remove 80 feet of a hemlock which failed onto a multi-million dollar home, from the snow load. This is at Lake Tuck, near Duvall, where there was 2 feet of snow on the ground or more, from 6 different snow events. The roads are barely...
