Google Earth Tomorrow's WorkPlace!

[MasterBlaster]

This is a 'lil outta town, a registered plantation Live Oak. It's been awhile since I've groomed one of these. It should be a hoot!







Who's next!

Oh, and you need to post at least two zooming in pics, eh!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I see this thread's taking off like gangbusters!!!

 

[gf beranek]

Trimming???

 

[Fiddler]

I have not yet figured out googles strange way of letting me access things. Downloaded but can't use yet.

 

[SkwerI]

I just found out that Friday's job is at the house of an Orlando Magic basketball player. I've done work at Horace Grant's place in Winter Park when they were building it and I did a small job out at Shaq's spread in Windermere about 10-12 years ago.

Since I don't have an address yet for Friday's job, here's Horace Grant's house (which is on the same street).

That looks like a monster oak MB. I don't know where I'm going tomorrow.

This reminds me the other day the google streetview car drove by while I was up a little Deodar Cedar. I think I was low enough for it to take my pic.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Trying to get it MB. Internet is giving me fits tonight.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Trimming???

Yes, a trim - it's gonna be sweet. No hurry, just get it done. The weather's breaking to the cool side. Today was a great day, low humidity and temps.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looks like a big dang tree MB... Have fun with it mang!
Finally got this... Same place as today we will be there tomorrow. More creek to clear. Just over the hill from us

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm not seeing the orange dot.

 

[SkwerI]

I just found out where Friday's job is, the house marked in blue.

 

[MasterBlaster]

And that's all the zoom ya got??? :what:

 

[SkwerI]

Best I can do with Mapquest.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's why the thread's title reads GOOGLE.

 

[hmm]

BRIAN that red circle is bigger then my town.

Here is my tree "windy Day" a Swamp oak

and Milton the sycamore

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's a trim?

 

[hmm]

CLIMB dear soul - CLIMBS - the GIRL only CLIMBS.

YES - call me a hugger.

but I have cut PI out of milton and that was HUGE

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I'm not seeing the orange dot.

The way my internet is running I was lucky to find the place. Fact is if you type in an address from up here, it is usually WRONG. So I have to find it by landmarks. The little pin is the least of my worries.
See where it says Sherlock and its all green below it?... That is the tangled mess I will be in again tomorrow... Willows, Vines, PO, head tall grasses and one of my favorites... BLACK BERRIES

OK, I'll give this a shot.

This is the neighborhood. I rescued a cat here a while back (the one that bit me) and the lady has been a one person PR machine for me ever since. This is the third round of jobs on this street, they're all within a few blocks of each other. These houses are HUGE by the way, none are less than 5000SF.

So, if I have the energy to do'em, easy leyland TD on one property, routine pruning of river birches on another, and two really sweet ornamental pruning jobs.

This is the first one, happens to be where I fetched the cat. You wouldn't believe this jap maple, it's an amazing example. I don't know the cultivar.

Here's the cushy one, easy pruning of several ornamentals, 3 short climbs, wood disposal by the customer... an easy $850. My kinda job...

So that's tomorrow... and probably Thursday too cuz I'll give out about 2:00 if it goes like today.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Saweeeeet! Sounds like you are in like Flynn .... Still sounds like I need to save some cats...

 

[sotc]

How do you get the pics and then draw on them?

 

[Paul B]

paint, or photoshop....

 

[Blinky]

How do you get the pics and then draw on them?

To get the pic you click on the EDIT menu in Google Earth and then select 'Copy Image'. Then it's in your clipboard and you can paste it into an image editor, I'm using Photoshop. Windows Paint should work too. I've heard about free programs that annotate images but I've never used one.

Cat rescues have been nothing but good for business, this one was particularly good though.

or click the printscreen button and paste that in to your photo software for editing.
