And these are from today:

Pay the Man!

How did Alex' finger turn out?

 

[pantheraba]

I'll see him tonight at Mama's house for dinner. Will let you know. He had it taped up and was out with his wife last night...didn't hinder his kissing any!

 

[Sgriff]

Hahaa perfect!

 

[squisher]

Ha!

Good stuff Gary. Glad your boys finger isn't slowing him down any.

 

[Grendel]

Nice one Gary!

I'm a big fan of those leather friction savers too. . .

Cheers

Nothing fancy. 10 years after building, this thing was thin and chlorotic. Root loss and a tough Critical Root Zone. No real significant obstacles, outside the driveway itself. Dropped two little tops, caught one tall leader's off of the other, and zip lined the last. Chunks free dropped. One stem to go.

A bunch of other pruning on ornamentals.

Home owners have a good picture coming, I think.

I might try to carefully grind a planter out of the stump, or cut it out with a chainsaw. Anyone tried that?
That could be an Alpine Magnum niche.

 

[BOTS]

Good stuff there Gary!

Looks like Alex is a smooth operator ...mabey he was just playing "I hurt my finger" for some kiss'is? lol

 

[pantheraba]

Hahaha...he is surely capable of that (aren't ALL of us guys???)

I saw him tonight at the family gathering...much smaller bandage now. He said the internal pressure has gone way down so that's a big deal. He was feeling well enough to whip all of us at Boggle.

 

[D.T.Ruck]

Took down a fat ash, I wish I had someone take some clips when we were taking the tops and big leaders out from over the neighbors yard. Just bought the wife a new camera so hopefully I can persuade her to come on out. There was another. Big ash rootball that got upturned about 50 ft to the right of this one and must have went across the neighbors yard. Prolly got the crusty thinking he doesn't want the mess in his yard. We chipped everything up to about 12-13" and left the rest for the custys friend. Hope he has a machine or a strong back cause that shit was heavy!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting toolbox placement!

 

[Raj]

Nice work Gary and DT.

I was going to do the same with a toolbox on myF350 dump box, but I'll need to waterproof it.

 

[pantheraba]

Good work DT...looks like a lot of tree. Glad you had a bucket to work from.

 

[flushcut]

DT is that a cable I see or a second line?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I was thinking the same thing as Gary. Nice to have a bucket on that.

 

[SeanKroll]

Chunked down the last stem, ground some stumps, collecting the, um, check tomorrow. Happy customers. My employee and I make a good team.

I'll be losing him to a Union Iron worker job in March, I hear. I'd be all over that myself, if I was in his position. No hard feelings.



Full load of chips, leaving a green waste can full, and a bunch of material over the back fence line.

 

[pantheraba]

Haha...you sawed some SERIOUS lean into that spar! Great hinge...plenty of weight it appears to break it on over.

 

[SeanKroll]

It was sorta thick. Getting back that far was in part due to the tree being bigger than the bar. Once the bar tip came out, I could aim my sloping cut. Two tries, slight gap face on one side. Good enough.

I cut the bark of the back so I knew exactly how much wood was on the back side.

 

[Raj]

Nice work Sean. Too bad about your help. Hope you find a suitable replacement.

 

[Jed]

Yeah, nice work Sean.

Gary: I loved that short and sweet vid.

Ruck: Huge. Well done.

This little Sequoia was only 75', but the pig's about 38"dbh. Here's some (we didn't get there till half-way through the day) of the wood and we've still got about a 14' stob standing.

 

[BOTS]

Nice Jedi, Sequoia/redwoods are my favorite removals, spikes go in easy and so straight up and down, branches not to big, whats not to like?

 

[pantheraba]

Nice donut wall...do locals haul it off or do you guy have to do the lifting?

"You'll have a couple extra guys to help load in the morning" out of the side of the bosses mouth. "Sorry they had a tire blow in the way to the job, thanks for picking up the slack"
