got the big old fir down,
62 inches accross, had to section it 3 pieces a 20 to 30 ft er, a 40 ft er and a 100 ft er
lots of rot, glad its down, paid a hired gun to do it, i didnt want to play in rotten tree in the wind with a tree that big
crew spent 11 hrs onsite to make up for the axe in the chipper
tommorow is the hollow tree against the house
36" dbh, conks the size of golf balls to soft balls on the trunk from 30 ft up
100 ft to the old topping cut, that has 30 ft tops regrowing off it
cabins on 3 sides of it,
can it get any worse?
decayed about 12 ft down, i can put my face in the hole on top, and my arm all the way down
theres no trees to rig off that will help
so we are using straps around a boulder in the river, to the truck and maadsman,
never had to rig off a rock before, but some of the crew put their heads together and figured it out
i'm pretty confident in their abilities, but , i'm gonna sweat for a bit while they fall it, from the roof of the house
its my $1000. deductable and a pack of smokes
gonna go sharpen up saws
maybe i shoild call GB to bring has video cam, but maybe i better not jinx the boys either
positive thoughts , good vibes and prayers are always apreciated
