Thanks, Squish...the cool thing is that Billy and I took down a broken leaner and felled a small dead oak earlier that afternoon. I only expected to get some limbing done on the house tree and to finish another day. But we actually finished removing the whole tree by about 6pm...took about 3...

hahahha...like the rationale for leaving a high stump. I did sound it with my axe and it sounded hollow...neighbor tree had a good solid thud sound. I am going to search for better (maybe higher) hinge wood next time. Hmmmmm...springboard. That'd be an eye opener down here in GA.

here is a short video of one of the rigging setups. I had already rigged out the limbs over the house...this was one of the 15 foot vertical pieces. It gives you an idea of the quality of the limb attachment. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNxKODB9HNk"...

Lake Lanier...north of Atlanta. Not much of a video from me...just used phone to record one of the rigging setups. My BIL took some video...I'll see what he does w it. Some of it may be watchable.

I agree...and the lean was right across their bedroom. He is glad to have it down.

And here is a video clip of small rigging, natural crotch. Facecut with 200T, finished with handsaw so I could time it to be able to push the limb into the wind. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNxKODB9HNk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Jeff...hijacking your thread a bit...for me, today's work was not so much about small diameter as it was quality of limb attachment. I helped my brother-in-law remove an oak that was near his house with a slight lean towards the house (on a diagonal). The top had broken out years ago and...

hahaha...good one, Stephen. I had one like that today. I'll post picts a bit later.
