I had a family member ask me to remove a branch from a tree overhanging a fence like that. He was very concerned about this possibility. In order to ease his worries and also protect the fence points from rigging errors I built a sturdy wooden box to distribute the impact to the entire fence...

Nice video image of the cookie rolling away at the end!

Holey Moley in Indiana. They only locate the public utilities to the meter. Typically the water meter is out in the front yard. You need to pay another locator service to get private lines marked. I have seen problems in my small experience. Last year I managed to drive a 1/2 ground rod through...

Yesterday I discovered I probably have kidney stones. My doc has me peeing in a screened funnel to catch some samples for analysis. I got three in my first day. I was so proud when I showed my wife! She was not impressed. I say easily pea size but she claims sub-millimeter diameter grains of sand.

I appreciate whoever you had on camera. Reasonablely steady for a handheld. Showed the whole height, then watched you cut, then panned down to follow the falling top.

In movie people often use branch to sweep and cover tracks. Don’t know if this is a real thing.

Is that an apartments building? Are the trees too messy?

@treebilly. Is this sling configuration sometimes called “the handshake?” @Tree09 was talking about that and I could not find a picture of it online.

I remember Maximalist introducing himself at the Treehouse with a video of cutting a top or big chunk of stem, putting his saw on the carrytool and then grabbing the rigging rope and lowering the wood all in a fraction of a second. Some commented about safety issues at the time. I feel like it’s...

@davidwyby I understand that there may be specific circumstances where skilled and safety oriented people may stay on the stump. Not trying to start a debate. It’s good to see your videos where you retreat by the book.

Did you cut the prop from the top of the tree over the roof? Trying to envision where you got it and how you moved it into position? Also: when you “cut the supporting portion near the roof…” did it have any inclination to start falling before your final cut ? I know this is difficult to put...

Forgive me this is a total newb question. I was wondering about the HDPE plates. Then in a later post I saw that you were stacking them under wedges for extra lift. So what’s the deal the one HDPE shim in the kerf above the backcut?

[QUOTE="Bodean, post: 1111122, member: 282"…. I enjoy tree climber photography [/QUOTE Keep it up! I really appreciate seeing your eye in the sky viewpoint!

Can you provide a picture of this technique? I know I saw it in a rigging handbook long ago but I can’t remember how to do it.

Paul, what an impact! I bet they will have a tough time keeping out the rains during the repairs after you make it safe.

Ha! You could have told me it was the latest in hydraulic jacks for rotten wood and I would have believed you.
