Put 13 ash trees on the ground then home and grabbed the grinder and got a $300 stump ground just as it was getting dark. The neighbor came over and tried to stand in the way of the machine as I was almost at the trailer to load up. I was in no mood and he had to jump out of the way cause I didn't stop the machine...
But that wasn't the only run in with civilians..
Had permission to use the neighbor's yard to bring this ash tree down. He didn't know I was planning on jumping the fence. I really should have had a pull line in it cause it was too close to balanced to eyeball which way it was going for sure. But the guys had gone home and I wouldn't need to come back to this job once this tree was down. So I figured I'd cut a little bit and see if it looked like it was going to go, which it did show the back cut opening up just a hint. Looking good at that point I tickled the hinge a couple time to get it going, and the tree sat right down on the bar, meaning NO MORE HINGE! There was a moment of feeling helpless and hoping it would go to the lay and not on the fence, and then the relief that comes when it does.. Probably was a bad decision to cut the tree as I was tired and should have just gone home.
She did go to the lay and looked like it had plenty of distance to clear the fence, but the wide branching up top caused a little spring back and the but ended up between the first two rails on the fence, not quite touching the wire. I expected it to clear the fence and push back a little, but I didn't think it was going to be that close... You can see the neighbor walking out in the photo and he threw a fit... Checked the fence twice then still came out with a camera to take pictures for his insurance company...
