Just cut it back from the house, don’t understand all the hand wringing.

I used bar oil on mine, saturated the crap out of it. It seemed to work better than mink oil.

Anyone have any advice on oiling Felco sheaths? I have a couple of old ones for F2, and a new F20 sheath that need some sort of preservative. Thanks.

I'd call that basically insane. Probably the same salesman that f'd up those other recent estimates

Thanks B! I feel it’s a score. Yes a Fisher grandma bear in great shape. I had it running all day today, shop day and rainy. Great heat output!

Is that a Fisher? I'd like to have something in my fire place for supplemental btus. Or win the lottery.

saw this across the way from a bid I did a few weeks back They probably pay more per month for glass cleaner than I pay for diesel 😆

Three six foot and one eight foot poles all stuck together with a large corona pruner head on it @cory Today went better so far. Finished with he last sycamore this morning and just got down from removing a few leads over a house on a Norway maple. Watching the ground crew do their thing now...

Meanwhile, human's insurance company may want the house side done shaved to see clear blue sky 5 feet from the house. CDF and local fire will require 10 off the roof, 15 foot off chimney if there is one. Some home insurace wants bare dirt 15 feet off the house and the tree would require a basal...

Reflects my thought exactly.

Those are great old beasties. Far too many have been kicked to the curb in my part of the world due to not meeting EPA regs when a house changes hands, per local law. You did good!

Are you knotting or splicing?

You’re extremely tempted to do snow removal in an area that practically doesn’t get snow problems…. I believe that illuminates the crux of the problem.

I've been doing excavation work on the side and hauling for other people but even the local tree and dirt companies are so slow nobody's looking for help firewoods going for as cheap as $120 for a pickup truck load dried, delivered and stacked so I'm not doing that, not even doing enough tree...

^What the hell is that post! Anyway new old stove She kicks some heat!

The tree doesn't really mind the house... it can ru it for years and not worry. The pruning is for the house / human. If the human wants it visually balanced for the human's sake, then sure small cuts. Less than 20-25% crown removal. Less is more, sometimes. A horseshoe-shaped callus is...
