The Official Work Pictures Thread

Couple of weeks back, but 3CB23BD8-8D6F-46A1-97BB-A782EDCD1197.jpeg 3CB23BD8-8D6F-46A1-97BB-A782EDCD1197.jpeg ECB3F6D4-3543-47E2-8CC1-2FC9C1EBEBEF.jpeg a good example of some of the most lucrative work I can get.
Removal of an overgrown hedge (western red cedar for the yanks, Thuja for the rest of us) plus a fir in the middle of the garden) 60F4AEF5-E76F-4FE8-B642-8EB191F4B531.jpeg 60F4AEF5-E76F-4FE8-B642-8EB191F4B531.jpeg grind, supply and replant a fresh hedge.
Weather interfered with this job a bit but went smoothly enough.

 
190'tall? How do you get down from the top, srt a 200' line? Ddrt and re tie in half way down?
 
Pics from the job started yesterday. The ash was easily over 100ft (used my buddy's golf range finder and all the trees next to it were at least 100ft at the tips, and this was way bigger). Counted the rings on the stump cut; 32" aross and totalled 114. The green ash and river birch prunes in the front were amusing; the birch was a cluster-F'd nightmare; climbed 35 ft and used the pole/handsaws to remove about 150 broken and dead hangers. Customers were happy, and are recommending me already.... :D

That is a crazy nail/hinge pic! Hilarious! Btw that is kind of a unusual angle for a nail in a tree, nearly vertical. Did your chain just barely graze the nail, I see a shiny pot looks cleaned of rust?

I had a crazy stump to deal with last week- we used the 55t to remove a f'g huge 3 leader 100' tall red oak growing out of a deck. 2 leaders were sound and 30" diameter, the third was 16" diameter and filled with cement :X. We couldn't pick the stumps out of the deck with the crane so we cut em to deck level, then later crawled underneath to cut off a 20" long round from each of the big stems and used a splitting maul to reduce these rounds into small enough pieces able to be pulled out of the deck-hole by hand. Then, after wrecking 3 chains, determined the general area of cement (3 f'g feet long in the stump), cut off the top of stem to get near the cement, smashed cement with sledge hammer and scooped out the resulting debris to allow cutting more now-clean wood off the top, then repeat more smashing/cleaning, more cutting, etc til we finally had it below the deck structure. Doom on those who put cement in trees. And while we're at it, doom on those who build decks around trees:drink:

Danks, mang. Ive never encountered that much cement, had no idea how I was going to get it done. Was thinking 'let the carpenter cut it with his sawzall' :whine:
 
Nothing special.

New ez-on ez-off pneumatic swivel caster and the maasdam rope puller allowed me to swing in 90* after backing through the gate and unhooking.

Let's contract for a new roof.
Let's put down fresh gravel.
Then, let's get tree-work done.
