We took a 26" 90 foot hemlock off a house Saturday....a fun and easy $2500, didn't start till 12:30......GRCS on tree nearby to pick the butt off the house, and block and portawrap in a big fir in neighbor's yard , perfectly placed to reach the top. CMI foot ascender and Croll with prussic backup above croll...I like that method!
It snowed 3 inches at my house Sat evening, started just as we wrapped up the job...once temps drop below freezing, it may not get above for days....coldest snap in 15 years. could drop to 15 or lower in town--Fahrenheit.
18-30" of new in the mountains...only a couple areas open though with limited operations. There was no or almost no base before this storm.
Here it is noon on monday and the temp is still only up to 26...brrr...gotta go do a couple bids, and take some pics of the white stuff.
Here's a bit of video....not very good, handholding a camera in the tree, and sloppy commentary
