    No Crane No Problem. Redneckin' it in Shoreline!!

    I had a tag line on it. But was holding a camera, not the line... and was thinking it would be for swinging the log off the roof---didn't recognize that the line sideload would do the job for us.

    And another...... I'd left the GRCS behind, because I didn't look close when I bid it, didn't notice the top had broken... thought it was balanced on the roof, which meant I could have cut the butt out a ways, where it would have just hit the ground.....and the top would have stayed put...

    Agreed. Pat's groundie is young and dumb, but he is learning. And Pat is fast..and occasionally a tad careless. I would have had the helper catch and carry each section...easier, no bending over, and less chance of hurting the roof--which was fine. Pat got careless with a locust Tuesday...

    The camera is set up on top of a much larger western white pine trunk (see the close up of the roots) which fell onto their chain link fence, and 30 feet further away it was still ~14-16" diameter where it impacted the freeway privacy wall. I don't think the wall is that close to the traffic...

    No Crane No Problem. Redneckin' it in Shoreline!!

    Two small hemlock uprooted and fell onto my client's Shoreline home, taking the top half of a stone dead hemlock with them. The driveway was too steep for a crane, and I figured out a method to get them removed with no further damage. First I set a line at a mere 15-18 feet in the dead hemlock...

    Yup. It was a breeze to bore cut each one.... no need to break out the cant hook. or bend over as far...... and the angle of the cuts was part of the reason why I switched hands.... it was comfy.... That was a dullish 372/375, stock, save for a dual ported muffler.

    Got this response on another forum: I wonder if he knows he's holding the saw wrong - left handed instead right. He's right over top of the bar. To which I replied: "Yawn. That would be me, buzz.... and I've been an arborist for over 40 years. I think I know how to run a saw..... but the...
