This is good, my brothers.

🤔 Why not flop it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Phone box right under it. some could come down large. But needed some of the tree to rig some of the tree.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Also, news flash. We get hired for the ones you cant just flop.

 

[davidwyby]

I dunno, maybe you just needed a bigger tree flopping truck 😁

 

[Kaveman]

Before and after, (with LTNI {Local Telephone Network Interface} in view) plus a rare shot of the whole crew! Maybe not perfect, but everyone is in the shot!


Smooth, like butter, sweet like candy. There's nothing like a crew that just fits together.

The three pics I got at the end today. Fifty feet of spar to rig down tomorrow. I might just cut frisbees and sacrifice a rhododendron. It was hot and miserable again. I need to get better at taking pics again. I’ve been slacking for quite a while.

I see a lot of neg rigging and think to myself “a sharp saw and a bit of careful dropping will be quicker and safer”
Not saying that’s the case here, just saying like..

This morning I cut down a rather fat poplar.

After the poplar, I continued the endless battle with dry branches...

Then, after work in the city, I went out of town (75 kim) and cut down a pine tree.

This is how my usual working day went, fun and dynamic'

P.S. Today I heard for the first time an interesting version of when you see a thick piece of wood, and a bunch of sawdust falls from it. The woman who ordered this pine told me an interesting version. She says that when sawdust flies in the wind - it's wooden snow

No rigging today. Lots of small pieces carefully placed into the tiny drop zone. I have not destroyed the rhody yet. Had a good storm roll in and crushed my dreams of being done today

 

[CurSedVoyce]

So befores of the last couple days victim. Two leads (one being a double) canyon live oak leaning at targets. Thinned some of the crown too. And raised the back side tad high for my taste. Butthe newer trees need room. At least I finally got to kill that garbage cypress planted right under the oak canopy.

Progress and afters

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Then some finished. Really hard to get proper pictures since the yard is so over planted.
Couple trees to guy tomorrow and its done. Dead wooded some pines today too.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Guy lines in. Basically using more established trees to hold the others up. Last storm, couple years back, pushed them over pretty hard. HO used a come a long to pull them back up and secured them with 1" webbing. That webbing is digging into the trees and were trip hazard as he went from the base of one to where he could place it in the other. Now, its done proper with dynamic cabling and slings that will be moved as the young trees grow. Probably every 3-4 years. High enough to not get clothes lined as well while walking about.
