How'd it go today?

Finished demolishing a large pressure treated playground today.

DEC said we couldn't tub grind it and sell it for chip fuel.

22 Rolloff loads in total, all to the landfill.

$$$$:D
 
103 degrees-I've fallen out for a cool down. Doing a crown restoration on a previously topped Ash. I underbid it but it is turning out nice. I have to go back and pull some low hangers and chip the second half of the brush.
 
I finished up the 175 year old live oak I started Wednesday. I think I had about 13 hours in flying time, not counting cleanup (2 trailer loads of moss). They aren't ultra tall but they have a massive spread. Took me 5 setups to work all the way around it. I couldn't reach the top 30' but the moss wasn't too bad in the top. I would have climbed it but I already had too much time in it already. This was my 'goodwill' job of the month. I charged him $400, or 6 hours bucket time. :O

The first two pictures are the tree before and after, the third picture is a closeup of the spanish moss and the 4th picture is the same limb after I pulled the moss off. And I wish I could get my $$$camera$$$ to take decent pictures. :(

Take it easy in that heat, Justin. You know the deal, don't end up mentally compromised like me due to heat stroke. :|:
 
Some things we do just for the love of it.
Good on ye, Brian. It turned out beautiful.
 
Beautiful tree, Brian, and a job well done.
Interesting fact: Spanish moss is in the same family as pineapple. It is not actually a moss.


I just got home from a volunteer day helping to deadwood all the trees for the ITCC.
 
Great Job Brian,

I played gopher boy today and earned my little pittance climbing oaks
and topping bays.

Last time I agree for such a measley day wage.
Where's the skuffaw emoticon?
 
Meh... I picked up a couple of old saws today... drank beer, and talked to guthuntfishwood (Jeff) on the phone... stellar day ;) .

I'm headed out on the town later though... :evil: :lol:

did a little removal for anouther outfit this am. ran a water line for my ice maker (ice tastes like crap now), started hooking up a oil pressure gauge in the bucket truck,had bbq and played settlers of catan with friends. great day
 
I had two calls while at church this morning for bid requests...WTF...I'm not complaining mind..But the week before last I only got three calls all week.
 
"and on the seventh day he rested". That's right I rested all day and I'm not sorry.:D
 
wow!

And I don't know why I wasted all that time and money on climbing gear and a bucket truck............when I already owned a ladder and a hacksaw :what: . This is happening right now like two minutes away from my house..................enjoy :D
 
Funny thing is two years ago I watched them build that little rock wall and kill those trees in the first place. As long as my neighbor(kind of) and his *** aren't getting into treework I might stand a chance still.

Click to expand...

He's either there to warn the cars they're about to get 'brushed' or he's there to clear the tops off of the road as quickly as possible lmfao. I can't quite see them from my deck. dammit. They've been working on this little group of trees for on four hours now.
