Blower was busy at the end of the day I bet

 

[ch74]

Yes sir, I went under the screen and blew through it. Lol

 

[pantheraba]

Tight work for sure...think they waited long enough to finally realize there was a problem?

Helmet?

 

[ch74]

That's what I said to. Helmet I took off and tossed down, way to hot it was over 100 with sun and humidity, but normally yes I have it on its a petzel alveo

 

[pantheraba]

I know that feeling...I was doing a job yesterday and it was about 95, high humidity, no breeze. Several times I came close to ditching the helmet...figured the chance of heat exhaustion was greater than a "struck by".

Heat can get bad.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It can kill you DEAD.

103 here today.

 

[Mick!]

Well heat wise I'm on me 'olidays. So I don't care! At work I've stopped wearing the protective trousers for the duration.
Naughty I know.

 

[PCTREE]

Ive never worn them

 

[Steve Mack]

Shorts and t shirt weather here today and it's mid winter. And people wonder why I like it here.

Did this one today, bit of a change from trimming and hedges. It was into the sewer, there's a man hole just next to it.

Came down pretty quick, except for the jasmine climbing up a few branches but wore me out dragging it out the front.

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice and clean. Nice job Steve. Hats off to you bud. Solo work often overwhelms me.

 

[pantheraba]

The that is a lot of tree solo. Did you fell it whole or limb it?

I like taking them down. Clean up is the bitch,

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

COOLVEST!!

Like turning the temperature down 10*F

 

[Steve Mack]

Limbed it. Not enough room to drop it, and that stupid tap.

"Clean up is the bitch"

Sure is. At least I could back down the driveway, bit steep though.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Are you rolling brush, or dragging?

Willie made a 4 caster brush cart, pre Arbor Trolley. I adapted a hand truck that works with straight conifer limbs and logs. Both relatively cheap, and very useful labor-savers.

Well, you know flies spread disease. So keep yours closed. Protective trousers or not.

 

[Mick!]

Jim, one of the most annoying thing that can happen when mucking about in a tree is your flies opening and wood shavings from the rear of the saw filling your underpants.
I might start a thread about it.

 

[FireFighterZero]

That would tie in nicely with cold weather fly problems. The problem being that you have 6 inches of clothing on and only three inches of, ahem, you get the idea.

This is ground breaking stuff.

 

[Jed]

Steve! Good job mate. As someone already pointed out... really nice and clean!!

Sean: Man those were HUGE rings from the top of that pig. Nasty firewood. but growing like a bastard eh?

 

[ch74]

Steve mack, thats a shitty lokkin tree for sure, helmets off to u for that solo job...

Haaaaahaaa, lmao... that would suck...

 

[ch74]

I figured it was the heat to cook my head or ditch the helmet and keep in high mind if I take a swing just cover with arms ...It was stupid hot with no breeze... appreciate the care though honestly...thanks y'all

 

[ch74]

found somemore.

 

[pantheraba]

Stupid hot and no breeze is what I had here when I was doing a cat rescue Sunday afternoon. That's when I came close to ditching my helmet, too...I totally understand the feeling. It was only about 95 here...not triple digits like you had.

 

[lumberjack]

Here's some grapple saw work I did Friday. It sure makes work a lot easier!

[pantheraba]

That's an amazing piece of equipment...it takes trees larger than I would have expected.
