I think I must have had a brain fart as I was typing...
I should go back and correct my mistake but then it would make your two posts look like you were having one as well.

Yup EAB up here doing damage. I hoped for 3 hours but quoted for 5. I don't feel bad, Davey took 4 hours to fly a bucket on a smaller ash 2 doors down from my house.

You saying Davey took 4hours to do that tree with all those toys? They must spend there wages in coffee & donuts stretching a job like that. Not cool IMO
Yikes, do I correct a lot?

Deva, trees become unfriendly when you put them too close to buildings.
Peter, i was wondering how your grinder had progressed. Good job, man!

Jay, I love those crane trucks! Loads of guys have them in Bermuda for general deliveries and construction. I knew a guy had one with a 50' crane, we did a lot of work together.
Ok, I finally worked on a tree big enough to qualify for this recent spate of tree pictures.
The broken hung-up Lombardi poplar I told you about around Christmas. Most of the leaves finally died so I could get a better view, saw one suitable TIP right above in an adjacent stem so decided to give it a go without cranes or cherry pickers, owners needed it gone, it was creaking like mad in the breeze.
So, Saturday, no wind, several hrs later...done. Yes, I was slow, but way up there with 14" tops either heavily leaning or caught in the next top, I wasn't taking any chances! No blood, nobody died, tree is cut down to where its stuck, everybody's happy. Last picture is of a weary me standing in front of one of the trunks still left in the grove...I know I'm small but those trees are big!

Nice pics, Fiona, great that the job worked out well.
Crane trucks are all over here too, if you are driving around, a day won't go by without seeing some. Oddly, unless things have changed, they never seemed popular in the states. I could never figure out why. For hauling work and construction like you mention, the only way to go. Lots of gardeners have a basket attacked to the end of theirs, and that's how they trim, move the boom around by remote. Metal fabricators, it's a given that they will have one.

Looking good, Fi!! That is one tangled up and broken up mess. Looked like a fine TIP...love the high ones for maneuverability.

Good Work, Fiona. I wondered about that project, recently, probably passing some lombardis or seeing them out my window.
