They’ll be fine, I love me a good topping.

Lapsed pollards like like that, once redone, will see you and me out, looking good as well.

Good job.

 

[pete mctree]

Agreed Mick. Most limes I work on have been hammered at some point in time

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice work environment as well Stig.
I still want to talk you guys into rec climbing this old black oak with me if you do get to come to CA. No obligation, But I do have the owners blessing.

 

[stig]

Looks good.

 

[lxskllr]

That tree looks fun Steve.

 

[Bodean]

Nice lindens...

We take care of some that are only 20 feet tall... light reductions and co doms...

Hey Cory... The rayco has maybe 140 hours.
I heard a whirring and found an extremely loose belt... then checking bolts found a pulley bushing Allen key to be finger tight... turns out they put it in the puller hole and not the right hole when they installed the Alpine Wheel.... rather underwhelming warranty work over the phone and texting pics.... but after all I got it hammering again....

 

[Bodean]

We worked in Silicon Valley yesterday.... like a ghost town... no one there... so we pruned some third floor Robinias...

That's my boss on the ladder on the phone trying to prune with long snips..... he's so funny.

That green thing is this crazy neon light algae ferns wall... it was dried and superglued....

Try pressing full image instead of thumbnail when you load them.

It’s better.

Thanks

 

[Bodean]

Got it. My bad.

Mick... thanks.
I remember when the whole thing with Jay came to a head... Jay said something like you pick on him and I remeber saying Mick's ok... just a straight blunt irish guy... Then Jay left... anyway.
I think he wanted to leave anyway....

Reducing those poplars... I was humbled.... I sat there in the tree looking at cuts I made 3 years prior about 10 feet higher in the tree.... This time I was like frig that... reduced them to where i stood....

Mike did the other 2 sets of trees...

We basically prepped them for firewood chunking...

 

[Mick!]

Yeah, was a shame about Jay, we butted heads a lot. Probably got out of hand.

 

[Bodean]

We shoulder tapped a contractor ($100 for his crew's lunch) to use his back hoe and crane this tree from these people's concrete pour.... bottlebrush tree.... friggin' ball of twine tree. We did two of them in 3 hours and stumps....

Arrived at the job like WTH...

That tree looks fun Steve.

Its about 7' DBH and about 90 foot high. David Byrnes (thattreeguy) and I pruned all the mistletoe out of it some years back. Took us 3 days. about 30 hours of climbing combined. Starting to get some mistletoe again so I'll probably have to solo it next year and remove the stuff trying to get a hold. Challenging climb.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Deva, sometimes I dont know where you find the patience for that stuff. Good to have some iron handy though!

 

[cory]

Deva, glad you got it running again.

Lol 'shoulder tap'

 

[ruel]

Declining white pine removal and minor oak deadwood... until Sven got into the oak and realized dieback was way more extensive.

Oak grows through 2.5 stories of a playhouse.

Cut back to highest living branches. We'll see how it responds. Maybe get some more years out of it.

TIGHT LZ for a gig up here, oak too dead to zipline off, everything down in btw two structures. What a day!

 

[pantheraba]

Fine work!!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nicely done. Challenging rigging job.

 

[treebilly]

Nicely done!

 

[cory]

+1!

 

[Jed]

SEAN!!! That was just so.....


Dude... thank you so much for those really good pics of that really cool job. Maine looks amazing.

 

[cory]

Maine.

Such an awesome vibe up there imho.

 

[Bermy]

Look what i got to play with today...

 

[flushcut]

You are doing it wrong Fi, you need to stand next to your kill with the saw in hand. Mush bag of a tree!

 

[Steve Mack]

Some sort of Tassie secret cut?

 

[treebilly]

Still waiting the stateside arrival
That’s a big nasty for sure Bermy
