Custy got a few nice shots of me deadwooding a red oak last week

2 Stumps from yesterday Customer is a retired high school shop teacher, has pretty nice wood shop, cool property to work at. He also handles all the cleanup after I get everything to the ground :D

Nice view from your office there Rich. I love the views from aloft, when I remember to take a minute to see them

Nice hinge Jed.

That's got to be the ugliest Jed-hinge I've ever seen!!

Yeah, Rich, it is a spruce. I wasn't thinking of species, I still lump all conifers as pines sometimes, Kleenex syndrome. Colorado Spruce I was told by the HO. I thought it looked like a fir. Thanks Rich and Ray for the comments, I dropped the trunk right on the top and went out to lunch, no...

Had 2 half days of work for some relatives, they took me out to lunch both days :D Didn't take many pictures, but I got this one after I dropped this pine top Here's the top of the spar, I cut the hinge as it fell to make sure the but slid off so it wouldn't bounce back at the house. And...

I was wondering about the transporter. I had a dead trunk hinge crumble, dropped on my gear bag and broke one of my caritools. I was debating switching to the transporter, that post made up my mind. thank you.

Shovel's full. that's my dad's favorite line for forgetting things. The mind is like a shovel: once it's full, for every new thing on the front - something falls off the back. "I don't remember that at all, it must have fallen off the back of the shovel."

Thanks for the info, Sean. I think I just recently read another of your posts about that in a short bar thread. I thought about doing that, but honestly I was nervous about the tree and wanted to make sure my hinge was set before I cut any more than I had to.

YESSS!!!! It worked!!

Thanks guys. I'll try that and practice boring with the big bar. Rich, I was pretty sure I drove by where you live on my way there. This house and one of my uncles live on the SE side, My uncle being in Cleveland heights, this house about 20 min further out. My other uncle lives on the NW...

We ventured out to Cleveland to some work for family again this weekend. This time was for my Dad's cousin. She and her husband had a dying ash, around 36 to 40" dbh, weighted toward their house. Our best estimate was about 110' total height, I climbed up to a large split at about 60' and...

I've heard BL posts last even longer than the poison infused stuff (pressure treated). I've heard it can be used in timber and framing and other wood working, but you have to get it when its half dry. Once it fully dries you can't drive a nail in and it eats drill bits and saw blades. I have...

Clear enough for me to get it :)

I had not thought of that angle. Sounds like a very good point to me, will have to have a company meeting tomorrow (meaning wifey and me)

Well done, she cleaned up nicely.

I'm certainly not looking to add any more mowing clients, and the focus is definitely in tree work, I'm still tossing around the name options. To me, Lawn and tree seems to roll off my tongue easier, my wife thinks tree and lawn is better as tree is the focus going forward. Logo work is...

Yeah, all my work is done under Barefoot Lawn Care. We're currently getting our logo changed to be Barefoot Lawn and Tree Care, but the business name is not officially changing. I'm hoping that doesn't create a problem, mainly with DOT as the truck is registered commercially. If it does than...
