Gustav Storm Damage Pics

[MasterBlaster]

Here's a few. Some of these I worked on and some I didn't.

 

[SkwerI]

Looks eerily familiar, Butch.
What's worse is that within a month, people will be wanting you to cut down more trees that weren't damaged from the storm. There will be almost as many casualties from arborphobia as there were from the storm.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Heck, I've already done that.

 

[vharrison]

Amazing that much damage so far inland. Was it wind damage or tornado damage?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't know, I wasn't there.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I hope you got 'em all except for the one over the wires..

 

[MasterBlaster]

I do those ones, too.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Lots of tension in some of those limbs. Looks pretty easy to get a saw stuck, or worse. No sense telling you to be careful, since you've done it all, but still, BE CAREFUL!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn, I hope I haven't done it all. I like new things.

 

[squisher]

Terrible damage, but awesome at the same time. Have fun, stay safe.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Plenty of work, for sure.

 

[squisher]

Nothing wrong with that. And jackpots will keep ya thinking on your feet, days will go by fast.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I do those ones, too.

Me too.

Nice you get to survey and hang a price on it.

I have to get it done as fast as possible so I can get the next one done to get home in time for supper

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice you get to survey and hang a price on it.

Where did I say I did that?

 

[Jamin Mayer]

Included bark = job security!

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I do those ones, too.

I must be confused.

You do them all or you don't And in your case you get paid accordingly, right?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I give up.

 

[sotc]

i think its gregs accent, i dont know what he on about either

 

[woodworkingboy]

MB, I'm just curious, in a situation like that, do you wait for the phone to ring, or do you go out and inform people of your services?

With all the work, must be a lot of tree cutters popping up out of nowhere?

 

[MasterBlaster]

For sure.

I work for several local tree services. I don't go out looking for work, for the most part.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I get it now (I think).

 

[SkwerI]

Butch, many times I will call my regular guys and just say "I'm open on this day and this day" and they will book me in, then they will work their schedule to make use of my services. It's something I do to help generate a little work when I'm slack, or to try and accommodate several clients when things get busy.

 

[Frans]

Must be kind of fun in a way. We had a huge fire (oakland fire storm). During the clean up I was able to smash stuff which ordinarily I would never be able to. Folks kind of expected it.

 

[stehansen]

We never have had that kind of widespread tree damage around here. I imagine the ground is all soaked as well. How much rain did you get?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think around six inches. We had been in a drought, that saved a lot of trees.
