Maybe this has been posted here before, but somebody just sent it to me. I'm thinking it's been staged. Looks like the guy has a harness and a rope. Top of the first ladder is tied off.

View attachment 55730View attachment 55731View attachment 55732View attachment 55733 tight back yard, limited DZ, for it all down and cleaned up in 4.5 hrs. 2 saws husky 540 & 562 Customer wanted the stump cut below the deck boards, so we had to rip out a lot of boards to cut the stump as low as possible.

Great work SB. I still find it amazing how many people build decks and even houses around trees, especially here where hurricanes can use them as a battering ram. I just bid on a job on an island here where they cut a notch out of the roof eve for a giant pine. It's been beating the house up ever since and they finally had enough.

I know eh? Goofy! Then at the end she wanted the deck ripped up and the stump cut lower so they can put new decking over where the tree use to be! I said no problem, one more hour of work, another $175! Lol she had no problem with that! Deck guys came today to do their work!

I've noticed that, since being on a US site I've been amazed at the houses and decking built around trees.

Ash.

 

[pantheraba]

Thanks...don't really have any here that I am aware of so I can't ID them.

 

[Fiddler]

This is not a typical Ash for around here. They are normally don't have the limbs starting this low. Being a fence-line tree (yep, I hit metal) on a lane it had room to spread out when young evidently.

Borers keep going like they are and we won't have any up here either.

Cool. How do you usually charge for work like that?

 

[BOTS]

The new Tapatalk app on my new phone helps me post pictures easily.



HO is new to the house. an emergency room doctor. Will have more money than time, and has a lot to do already. He called me about the dogwood decline (8-10 years buried 14", and anthracnose to be sprayed three times in the spring by a local spray/ phc company), and the fear-inducing fir that was cracking the driveway. Nothing to big, and actually weighted enough away that I didn't need to wedge it. He wanted the two beds stripped of vegetation, landscape cloth, chip mulch, and simple, 4-season aesthetic plantings of my choice, a few fruit trees, too. I told him $40/ hour flat rate for landscaping, and that I'd do the RCX, fruit tree train/ prune and better fence install, at the same rate. My Harbor freight $40 on sale pancake air compressor is a good tool for it, but am considering buying a larger portable compressor for a few hundo, not a few thousand used for a tow-behind and an air spade at this point.

My loader!!!!! will be here tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! He wants some light clearing done for an orchard, and shed, and a trail (41" bucket width,perfect). He's right down the street from another me at another job that I will do next week with the mini forwarding and chipping branches from 15 canopy raises, creating the mulch (sellable) for the dogwood and orchard!!

I have another job or two around the house for the mini to start to work on.

This is a maple at my house. For damaged from outdoor burning/ bonfire from 10+ years ago, previous to me, naturally. Left side is looking worse than last year. Hypoxylon.

This tree is struggling. The cobbler's children have no shoes. The mini will make material handling easier. I have a number of trees to rcx at home, as well. I need a bigger compressor and airgun tho.

A small limb removal for home owner who is in his late 60's. His father had a tree service and used a manila rope threaded through a hole in a 2 inch board held up by a stopper knot.

I've climbed on manilla. You'd better wear gloves!

 

[PCTREE]

Call me crazy but I would almost prefer that to the chain of aluminum that you are supported with........

 

[MasterBlaster]

Chain of aluminum?

 

[pantheraba]

biners, pulley, etc. to harness is what I think is meant.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Not how I roll.
