Probably root impacts from construction.

I just don't have a choice. I'm already used to it. For example, today -View attachment 1d16feef-af53-46a4-94f6-5326abc10f13.mov

Yeah, it started to decline after the parking lot was redone three years ago. Many big oaks in the area like this are slowing drawing the curtains. It’s a shame some mighty fine trees.Probably root impacts from construction.

Nice work. Why not use your bucket truck on that?

This is the only tree that can be reached by a bucket truck. Without a bucket truck I made this tree in less than 2 hours. It is irrational to order a bucket truck for 1 hour.

Today I was working alone again. Z3 very quickly lifted me to the top of this tree. I used Z3 instead of Pro Traxion. Very effective! I asked a girl to make a video. It turned out quite unusual

It was not without a surprise
As far as I know, round nails were learned to make in 1910. So this nail is older.

Yeah but that’s a 30K job billed directly to insurance. That job required a 120T crane, 2 100’ lifts, excavator, avant, 20” chipper, and 2 chip trucks. Needed a crew of 8 and all this was double time for emergency work.
Edited to add: mostly sarcasm but based on what some companies do.

Not even close to 30k.

Easily should have been well in the teens. Perhaps a thread in a more private area would make sense.

Day rate. The tree wasn’t anything remarkable or difficult. Just a PITA because it was for a neighbor, elderly neighbor. There is probably 10k in damage to the garage.

Doing hazardous work, changing your schedule to accommodate the emergency of the insured but charging the same as regularly scheduled, traditional work... yeah, I can see why you don't like emergency work.

Definitely some sarcasm but there is a movement that would bill the snot outta that and get it too.

I’m all for taking one back from the insurance companies but this tree wasn’t it. There are plenty of companies around here that would gouge the crap out of that tree but not me and my company.

I think so too. But in our city, the demolition of any tree is a very long story. To do this, you need to prepare a lot of documents, then pay the cost of restoration (about 3,000 € )and after demolition plant a new tree.

10 foot tall 48” black walnut trunk. Back yard, not crane accessible. Client really wanted it put on the ground in the yard so they could get it slabbed. It was on the wrong side of a masonry wall and 2 foot below the wall. I brought a 20 ton jack a pile of lumber and some heavy 2” steel pipe. Cut straight through as low as possible. Then jacked up opposite sides 1.5” at a time, swapped 2x4 for 4x4, then 6x6 till I had the whole thing 6” above the top of the wall. Two beams set across for the rollers to roll on and the pulled the whole thing into the yard with a come along. Took me all day, but it worked!

We got it off with no additional damage. She slid off perfectly. About 30” catalpa. 12’ of the butt was mostly mush and some solid rind of a trunk or what used to be trunk.
