The Official Work Pictures Thread

[CurSedVoyce]

I like video... Same things Bix pretty much covered by my eyes... You could use some helmet comms...

Nice blue skies Joel.. not like mine today.... No before shots.. I was a busy lil guy. Rob got caught up at the chipper when Katy and I took the wood off the front so we could pull the back up and around.... Apartment complex..
Sure was cool the tree grew a nice straight gin pole up the middle like it did

 

[pantheraba]

That is the cat's meow...what a fun tree! Good stuff.

I like the redirect man, SRT opens up a lot of options doesn't it!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Absolutely. Lack of friction makes moving about a lot easier. Nice to be able to just redirect and drop right into the work position you need.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

God, isn't friction so often an unusable pita?

Deodora cedar, Stephen?

Jim FFZ, this green line is the climb line, which can be in the removal tree or another "high tie" tree (high Tie in Point) supports the climber.

When the SRT system is in place, provided that there is enough rope, you can lower an injured climber that can un-lanyard up high.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Quercus chrysolepis, Sean. Canyon oak/golden cup... Heavy bugger... full of water now that we had rain. The wood is leaving puddles in the parking lot

 

[cory]

I'm happy for you folks that you got rain

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Even knowing its oak, its' silhouette still doesn't make me think oak.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well... there is a lot missing

A job we did a couple years ago, put it on youtube, figured I'd share! The Gehl AL340 was the loader for this job.

Awesome tree!!!

 

[mastermind7864]

I wanna watch this thread.

 

[HBP]

Thanks gang, it got banged up pretty bad in the october snowstorm we had last year. Putting in a few cables in and some bracing rod another day, try to fix the big crack in the main union. Fingers crossed, boring through 60" of pin oak is going to be quite a task, hope it works.

 

[Bixler]

Cool pics guys.

Stephen, that looked like a fun job. Great job on the photos.

 

[HBP]

Here are some more pics of a gnarly old white oak we did last week. One guy in the bucket and two climbers knocked it out pretty quick. This tree is on a nice high hilltop overlooking Cleveland to the northwest. I like to think that it was an adolescent tree when Moses Cleveland first surveyed Ohio. Pretty neat stuff if you're a nerd like me.

 

[cory]

Sweet tree.

How's the vibe on the crew with Nick being gone. ::thumb up??

 

[Bixler]

What a spread!

 

[HBP]

I miss him, some others don't. He was challenging to work with some days but we always had a laugh and I learned a lot from him. He also introduced me to the arbor trolley, what a great little device that thing is.

 

[bonner1040]

I miss Patrick, and don't miss some others.

HBP, What became of Mikes AT, did it go with him or stay with Scott?

 

[HBP]

I have claimed it as mine for the time being, although I have found the AT's only weakness.......18" deep snow, been sitting in the shop unused for well over a week.
