Gotta get the wood out by AT or is their machine access?

O.k... "AT," :?:?:?... is there ANYONE on here other than Cory who could guess as to what AT might ever possibly mean??

Cory... drug uphill by hand and ball cart. "Sucks with a half-life," as Al whould say, though I never fully knew what that meant either.

Sam: Yeah. Looking West... that'd be Seattle. (We were in Bellevue.)

Stephen: Lol a thousand times... cause the boys were laughing out loud at me with my spurs cinched into my chipper vice, and me on the flat-file grinding on em. ROCK hard stinkin Arbutus. 40" DBH: I'm not kiddin... at ten feat I just BARELY caught the far corner with a 36" bar.

The estimator talked the client into leaving a 10' "snag," so I just high-stumped the 40' log I had left, into the sticker-bushes. We got a bit over half the wood out today (cut a 6" cookie, split with maul, put on ball-cart. Repeat ad nauseum. Uphill both ways, etc.) We've got a four-man day tomorrow to get the rest of it out which should work out, God willing.

Nice work Jed

Been busy with these two. Hadn't taken any pics until yesterday. Triple-trunk old maple had a really rotten leader break out at about 20+", hitting three vehicles, but somehow missing the house.



The tree was 100', 20' taller than the cedar. Questionable structure. Ended up minimizing rigging force via speed lining the tops. I didn't want to catch the tops. Considered a crane, but roping did it. Old maple that was big at top because of so much small damage from weather over the years breaking out small pieces. Ratchet strapped the three leads at the top to unify.

The tallest maple leader was tipping out as three trunks... Naturally, over the garage ��.

A buncha nasty ones today Jerry. Several binding me in the face cuts. One bound a saw so hard i just grabbed another saw and made a new face higher up. Think that may be on video
 
Willie please don't post anymore snow covered pics for a bit. It's cold here but none of that stuff yet.

Sean that's a lot of moss. Is that better or worse than heavy ivy when climbing?
