Cos I’m a curious sort I was wondering what this is. Is it a rainwater collection system with a cover for rodding out the down pipe?

It goes over the roof. I'd say it's either a vent tube for the septic system ( mine is a 8" brick tube integrated in the width of the stone wall) or the exhaust tube for a condensing boiler (low temp exhaust fumes) with a plug for the annual visit.

Mick, I think it's an exhaust vent for the heater. This is an old(1850's) vacation cottage subdivision on Delavan Lake so there is a lot of weird construction as it may not be code but it's all grandfathered in.

My old 2130 43" bar. I couldn't resist. 4 years ago hanging out with my dad. Hope you all are great.

Actually, if you have enough loop runners and crabs, you can self lower and retrieve as many as you have. Think of it as lowering on a loop of line. You tie it back to where you are in the tree. The piece hangs on the loop via the crab and loop runner.

Nail on the head. Untie, pull back through, reset. Wash rinse repeat.

Just a few uproots today. Three actually. The fourth one was just heaved a little and perked back up as soon as I cut it free
Job went really well. Less than eight hours and I’d say at least one hour was spent chatting ,from a distance, with half the neighborhood. They must be getting bored. Also managed to save three walnut logs and four hickory logs. All 12 footers. The mini earned its keep. Didn’t like those logs much though. Going back with the bobcat to haul them out when we grind the stumps.

That'll do, Eric. Pretty damn fine picture.

Rich, that looks like "pick up sticks" but all locked up, leaning and curvy, too. Kind of a puzzle I suppose. Looks like it would be a mess without a bucket.
Great picture, Rico...good photographer.

I had the homeowner untying for me. I came down once to move brush and pick up the camera. On the plus side, I picked up a much larger (for me) pine removal down the street plus a clearance trim on some basswoods at another guys place.

I did... very cool vid... I believe someone else was doing the cutting on that one? For the record I consider Reg to be one of the best climbers on gawds green earth. I am in awe of his skillset....

Storm job from last week, 8 trees on the house. Stinks that I forgot to put the video camera in the work truck.
Treesmith was working a few houses up from us.

@Carl you own the green lift, right? Is the excavator yours or do you rent it as needed? Does it handle trunk wood pretty well?
