CA Fair plan Insurance requirement. They want 30 feet of nothing. We are going to keep a couple significant trees in the back yard. Pruned to give the illusion of perfection.

Couple of shots getting rigging done...

 

[davidwyby]

Man, no room to just drop those suckers?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

One or two. Rest are a tad risky for my taste. Cisterns, galvenized working plumbing, out buildings. Has a bit of slope too. Roll factor to buildings next to them.
Cleans up easier this way anyway.
So use the ones I can to remove the difficult. Then dump the easy parts.
Crane cant reach all of it, and not a lot of room to process monsters amount of slash all at once that happens with a crane.. I would need more bodies and bigger iron..
And that my friend, is how I get the call.

Maybe goin N again soon to clear for a new home

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Not sure what that all means.
However. No new structures are going it. It's just insurance required in our new socialised home policies that are dictorial. This place is an old ranch in the National Forest. It is kind of protected like several up there that you just can't or should not do a whole lot to the property. The older structures and infra structure are what we are hired to hazard mitigate and protect.

Got the hard one on the back corner done today. Dunno if they got any shared load gin pole logs floating in pics. Kept all hands busy....
I am starting around the cisterns, tanks and pump sheds tomorrow. These feed the ranch, barn and two homes on it. Just had to make it smaller so it fit in the back yard.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Turns out this one on the corner was in trouble. Some rot in the base center. Leaning across the back of the garage and long enough to touch the house deck.
Also, the top popped. Hinge broke. And a couple more logs after that. Never finished those three back cuts. Pop!
Was nice to see some hinge fibre after that. So that tree was a good call to go. Could have lost a 30' top onto something from around 100 feet up in a winter storm

*I may be heading north (up past you) to cut trees so that a house and road can be built.


Sorry for the lacking verbiage

Austrian pine and spruce days. All the gear is covered in sap.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Same here with the cedars. One sticky mess.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yesterday and today, got all 6 of these done and logs down. Nuttin died. The rope box is on a main valve box for 2 houses and barn.

Lots of fiber pull on that last stump! I guess cedar stays together pretty well; nice supple hinges?

 

[cory]

tight spots!

Hard pull with the mini and left some hinge. Punky centers on about all of them though, and goofy leans. I swear one was about cork screw shaped

 

[stikine]

Incense cedar?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yes

 

[Burnham]

I see some seriously burned hillsides in the far background of a few of your pics.

Nice work Stephen.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yes. Two more recent burn scars. The Ferguson and Oak fires.
Thanks B

 

[Nutball]

Yes

Do they smell like pencils? Are they used for fish planks?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Smellier than pencils and soon to be firewood

 

[davidwyby]

I was told cedar doesn’t hinge. It hinges better than euc or about anything else down here 😆

A couple of picture of the last weeks work.

Mostly pine removals.

 

[biggun]

I have no idea why they are previewing a little blue box.

@lumberjack - any ideas Carl?
