Someone screwed up. Not sure which guy bid it but it sucked.
I don’t mind the single cylinder at the knuckle. Took me a bit to get used to only seeing one.

Worked on this beast most of the week. I called the boss when I got there and told him the estimate was FUBAR and to clear out my week. The pics don’t show the true path of the wires. Also forgot to get a pic when we showed up. Almost two days of the dreaded cut and throw method till we had enough height to rig efficiently. Even then it was still small. To top it off it rained for three days. Finished the spar and clean up today. Company lost its ass on this job.

In a way it’s good to hear that others make the same mistakes.

Today I cut down a birch tree that was tangled in wire. P.S. The wire and flowers were not damaged!)

After that I cut down a couple more trees -

Yesterday's little job. 20ft or so of cracked trunk. Applied three big ratchet straps, took a problematic limb off, removed the broken codom, and set a line. Debated bore cutting, decided against it, in favor of pouring the coals and bugging out. Client cleanup(ish), safetied the tree and bucked what the homeowner's saw couldn't handle. Not a bad Saturday at all.

Nasty tree, full of rather aggressive, smelly ants. At least I remembered to take pictures.

I don't know. I might stake a claim and turn it into a man cave. Build a tiny house over the hole and have a half mile of basement. Or a line of tiny houses, connected underground could be fun.

There are many people here that incorporate “their” lava tube.
The longest one traveled is 40 miles. I think Goes volcano to HPP.

Think Cory said AI…. Nah it’s real. Gnarly walking cross the field.

Today I returned to yesterday's trees and cut them all down. 9 of them.

Today I had to cut down, among other trees, a dangerous linden tree. If bracing had been laid correctly, this tree would have stood for another hundred years.
