I like my ropes... I wan not sending two noobs up with chains on saws.

Just a training of climbing, no cutting.


Let them know climbing is hard, even if it "looks like fun".

This morning I removed a broken part of an oak tree that broke yesterday due to strong winds.
Then I continued my endless struggle with dry branches.

Pretty nasty emergency cherry removal the other day. Homeowner had the little strap and chain on it when we showed up.

And today we are on the last of five removals with the crane. I’m a bit short of stick so Cam is about to rig the tops out

Then I’ll pick the logs

 

[Nutball]

I was afraid the little chain was the chain you were talking about.

 

[Kaveman]

Lift day! Got a lot done on the crumbly black oaks. There's a lot left to do, but it's over a fairly busy road, and the county will want permits and road closure and flaggers and blah blah blah, so that's not part of the bid.

Rich, nice pics.

Your company was slow to get a crane but when they did twas a total game changer. It's clearly now time to upgrade to a 45 or 55t w/ 127' of boom. What are they waiting for.

Like government, the wheels turn slow. I’ve been trying to talk them into buying Steve Connaly’s Mek but that’s doubtful. I can schedule a bigger crane if I get enough notice. Might be getting quicker response from that guy soon though. Boss has invited the rental crane guy and his wife to a music festival coming up. Wine and dine kinda.

Steve’s rig is one bad mamma jamma!

There were several trees today. This linden was the most interesting.

 

[SeanKroll]

This oak has structural issues visible from the back, so it got reduced.

 

[Burnham]

Probably has root issues too?...seeing that retaining wall.

 

[SeanKroll]

Yes. The excavation was fine 20+ years ago.

I removed a doug-fir with P. pini in the adjacent island. Probably Laminated Root Disease, too.

The adjacent, larger fir is fading. Future prevailing wage work!

 

[SeanKroll]

30-50 small cuts on the tree. One large, dead stub.


This is the slightly larger stuff. I loaded the brush in the rear half of my trailer and wood from the oak and a couple small dead firs in the front of the trailer in a quick jif.

One BMG grapple bite to unload the brush.
I've got a good brush pile going... I'll have a grapple truck come to my property before it gets gets wet to haul a load or two.


Just as my employee finally finished All the firewood splitting from wood that been bucked for a long time, I bring in more. For about 2 hours, firewood processing was caught up!

There's an Oregon White Oak patch near me, and here and there around Oly.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Tree fall down. We stripped and chipped, guyed and cribbed day before yesterday. Crane comes tomorrow.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just the damn root crown is going to.have to get loaded into trailer via crane

 

[SeanKroll]

Wow! That's big!

Insurance work?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yessir. But we wont gouge. Make enough to call it a day

 

[friedrich]

we started the day with stemshoot removal and than (to mix it up a bit) started a half dead pine removal on a kindergarden property. nice because i thought i had to rig most but was able to drop 3/4 of the canopy.
