    Flop or top?

    I speak a small town central Idaho offshoot of the english language. It's hard for some people to decipher sometimes but it makes perfect sense in my mind.:)

    Thanks Bermy In the Mike Rowe video that someone posted the other day Mike said something like, "people with dirty jobs that work with their hands are inherently happier". That's not exactly what he said but it's the point he was making. I had to work about 3 days in the office last year and...

    Flop or top?

    I was blocking it down. Not firewood size though. The blocks in the trailer I cut small enough I could roll them up the ramp into the trailer without killing myself. 99% of the sawdust was on the pavement so it was an easy cleanup. Although using a tarp is a good idea. Decaf= is shakeless...

    Can anyone tell me why my pictures post sideways? I am posting from my phone and the pictures have not been altered in any way.

    All done and the cleanup took twice as long as the dismantle. The wind was blowing fairly hard and it spread sawdust over the entire block. The coffee shop right next door even had sawdust on the floor inside. I sat in there drinking a decaffeinated mocha something and won a free shirt. I...

    Flop or top?

    I think I have decided to climb and dismantle it. This way I don't have to worry about vehicles in the parking lot or at the last second someone strolling out of their motel room and getting wacked. I will just cone off a big enough area to work and not worry about it. Besides, it should be...

    No, seems like it's worth the extra money to have help with cleanup and having someone on the ground to send me stuff up the tree. Not to mention the safety thing.

    No matter how I do it, all your suggestions are good ones. It gives me plenty of options to consider and techniques to ponder. Thank you all for your responses.

    Dismantle would be good advertisement.

    Flop or top?

    Ha, it's just starting to turn red and there are still a lot of green needles. It should still be plenty limber. The 2 outside spruce stay where they are. I like Willie's advice but I don't think I would get paid if I cut the healthy ones... I can fall it logger style or I can climb it like...

    Flop or top?

    Sounding better all the time. The pictures make it look somewhat limb locked but isn't. It would be an easy wedge but screwing this tree up in the middle of town with onlookers... that would be bad!

    I figured with as many small diameter limbs as it has that it would cushion the landing, but I had to ask. Thank you from one Shawn to another.

    Flop or top?

    The motel owner in town wants me to remove a spruce tree that sits in the parking lot. This working around asphalt driveways and parking lots makes me nervous because I haven't worked around it enough to know what it will handle. I will provide some pictures if you guys wouldn't mind providing...
