Hello. Tight removal for you

[mistahbenn]

Alright geezers? Thought I'd snap a coupla pics of this bastard takedown. Easy bucket access. Cut and chucked all the manageable stuff, then rigged the wood into a 4 foot gap. Pics explain it. Could have done speed line, but only me and Cosby on the job. Had it done in a day. See ya i left two limb stubs to act as a break for the wood. Worked very well.

A fine job there

 

[MasterBlaster]

That looks like a bugger of a project! Congrats!!!

 

[Altissimus]

Yes, nice one

 

[bonner1040]

Wow!

 

[chris_girard]

Sweet!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

REally nice work there, Mistabenn.

 

[Burnham]

OK, that was a nasty one to deal with...great work.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

WTG Benn! That was a bugger of a tree. One I would have liked working with you on for certain.

 

[rumination]

Well done sir. I'll bet you were glad for the bucket access.

 

[bonner1040]

Ben,

I usually start my day with a job like that. If you can post it at 'the other tree site' I, and others can begin to tell you all the things we are sure you did wrong based on your pictures!

Really though, that looked a tight spot, those can be nerve wracking for sure.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Nicely done.

It took me a moment to find what happened to the small shed.:what:

 

[MasterBlaster]

You can say Treebuzz, Nick.

 

[Ian Flatters]

As i said on your facebook, tighter than a Jewish priest (its a joke so i aim not to offend). Nice work Benn can you imagine how much of a PITA it would have been to climb instead.

 

[bonner1040]

You can say Treebuzz, Nick.

I was alluding to the recent/historic bull that goes on there.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well yes, I figured that much. I was just saying that it's not forbidden to mention other tree sites.

How's that butch?

Marc the piece of shit shed we just turned on its end. The owner wasn't bothered. Funny, the tree lost its top onto one of those roofs. I was tempted just to 'accidentally' fell the tree onto the roof. Lol

Guys, see how the trunk is twisted and back leaning... When/ if I chose to fell it, would you cut the notch horizontally, or go with the grain/twist of the wood? There is a tree to put the rope puller on to pull it. Interested in your thoughts.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

What sort of wood is that? you said nothing on it.
If it's brittle, I wouldn't take the chance to upright it. The house with the green roof will loose its roof's corner.
With a good enough hinge wood, why not.
I'll go with the grain. For me, it's easier to visualize the path during the fall with a slanted hinge than over aiming a horizontal hinge to compensate the side lean. But that's me.

The banana shape of the trunk is dangerous for the house though. It will roll / jump to the right when it'll hit the ground.
It's hard to know from the pics what amount of the stump is outside the gap between the houses. I would try to lay it down parallel to the fence. A little more risky with the top near the fence, but safer for the house.
Second point, I'll bore some deep and wide partial cuts in the banana in order to kill the spring in the wood during its landing. It will fall in pieces instead of jumping like a wild horse.

 

[mistahbenn]

Marc its a norway maple. And those are garages, not houses. Still caution will be at the upmost as always.

 

[bonner1040]

I always cut the notch parallel with the ground.

 

[RopeArmour]

Tight for sure. looks like you peeled that one pretty good.
Try not to take things personally Bonner. life is to short .
water off a ducks back.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn straight.

 

[No_Bivy]

Why no crane? Good job though.....looked epic

 

[mistahbenn]

Crane shmane! I wish!
