Glad I watched the videos first. I was gonna ask if the last pic showed Christmas market booths in the background :^D Do Russians have open air Christmas markets?

 

[treebilly]

Almost done stacking. Then I might bust some more up on this beautiful day.

In fact, what you took for a Christmas market is a kindergarten. These are small houses where children play. Of course, we have open-air Christmas markets where a lot of interesting things happen. It should be recalled that in Russia the Orthodox faith and Christmas falls on January 7.

How many kinds of iron fence in Russia? Seems the fence of choice.

You’re right! I’ve never seen a plastic or wooden fence in any of his pictures or videos. Also, I haven’t seen anything Andrej has done that DIDNT involve a fence!

 

[Maximalist]

I never thought that fences could arouse such interest!) The most beautiful fence in St. Petersburg is the fence of the Summer Garden. Although this is my opinion, and may not coincide with the opinion of others.)

Americans love fences.
Good fences make good neighbors etc.
Build the wall….

Bodean, you have a giant phuk off moat... that's a water fence.

Dead oak today. Climb line in adjacent beech. No rigging. John and I worked together. Still pretty darn solid heartwood!

We looked at this about 45 days ago or more. I told customer to let me know when the leaves were off so we could better see to set rigging and climb lines. We were both pleasantly surprised when we showed up to work that it was much smaller and easier then we remembered (about time we had one like that! Usually larger and more complicated!)

I was filming Mike taking the top, and missed the money shot. I don't really like dealing with cameras, and looking at the world through a screen. I put the phone away to get ready. For what, I don't know, but I wanted to be ready. Oh, well...

Luckily it was uneventful!

Next door neighbor got me off the couch to finish a Siberian Elm that Hydro hot-spotted. The gopro died before we went too big on the last piece and bent one of the pool supports. He still considered it a win and we all know the customer is always right. The wife got a couple pics from our deck and I made a 60 sec vid of some pieces.

 

[Treeaddict]

@Ryan Was the homeowner neighbor runnin the ropes? Seems like spur of the moment thing where you couldn’t get a groundie on short notice.

 

[Ryan]

He's a Hutterite that left the colony. Proud and hard working, there was no question that he was helping. I won't accept money so he pays in t-bones and rib eyes.

We already have quite a lot of snow -

Finished up a little pruning/thinning job, hauling the last of the brush before my cousin's wedding. This load, and my 5x10 trailer stacked about 8 foot. Always surprises me how much brush these little shag bark trees produce. Think of your local ornamental cedar, like occidentalis. ( @stig ) now picture them 12-20 feet tall, just as wide, and all the way down to the ground. They're an over ambitious bush, not a tree.

Classic truck now Kave.

 

[Kaveman]

Her name is Gertrude, the Great and Green. 1985, F250, 4x4, 4 speed, 460ci. I love Chevy, I own a pair of square body suburbans. I'll get photos up soon, I'm using the "wrong" phone lol. Chevy makes a fine truck, fast, comfortable, reliable, etc. Ford built automotive anvils, you can hammer on those old trucks all day, and they're ready the next morning. Sure, the powersteering is gonna whine about having to do anything, and it's gonna ride like a backboard wagon if it ain't loaded. But that old 2fidy will get you there and back.

Screw dodge. Drive On Dry Ground Everywhere. Those trucks are cats, they hate getting their feet wet...

Foreign manufacturers apparently can't build trucks that will do what I need. So there's that.

 

[stikine]

Haha, and here I only want one that is reliable these days but I get your drift.

Cold and fresh today. -7c and -14c with wind chill.

A friend has some work that needs starting at his house. I removed a Pear tree that will be in the way of his new garage. Well the root plate would have been in the way. I recommended removal as the foundation would be 50 cm from the trunk.

I also lifted a few branches from a Birch tree, allowing access for the 360 to get in to dig the ditches to repair the leaking basement. I also weight reduced the end of one of the longer limbs that grows out over neighbours driveway.

He took a picture.

 

[biggun]

A couple from Friday. Removal of a decent sized Birch tree at one of my customers. It’s a housing associated and this one has been decided by the board to be killed.

2 many people with Birch Pollen allergies in this country.
