That was fun to watch Carl
Willie, Trevin is growing so fast... Some great pictures man... Tired kid means a great day for him
That was an dang ugly tree too.

 

[sotc]

So you have 2 climbers now Stephen? That's gotta be a seriously nice deal for you

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just Mike and I... It sure helps on the larger jobs. And we can split teams.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Trevin has bigger arms than most adults in the IT trades.

 

[sotc]

I thought you had a lady climber as well?

 

[sotc]

Jay, he may end up in I.t. Someday, loves the computers that one. Orrin is my outdoor boy mostly

Katy tried to do some, but is not physically up to the task.
I also had a woman groundie start with us this year, but she did not work out and found something else more conducive to her life.
She was a good roper though. Damn smooth.. when her attention was on the job.

Great pictures guys.. keep em coming.
Was that you in the one pic Jed.. ??

Cherish shot number 5 Stephen... It took centuries of inbreeding to produce that specimen.

 

[PCTREE]

great pics all. Carl what is the reach of that lift?? Looks pretty sweet

Ahh, yeah, well, one climber takes a fair load off of you anyway

 

[Limbrat]

Very cool. 2 minutes to take down that big dead oak is pretty impressive Carl. Stephen and Willie, great pics

 

[CurSedVoyce]

True that Willie. Gives me a chance to catch up on some of the maintenance and administrative duties as well. Not to mention doing some roping for a change

I received a call from a fellow tree man in a nearby town. He wanted help with a project that he had placed a bid on. It was a Siberian Elm tree that was located inside a totally enclosed yard, with no access available for a boom truck. Two days....two guys.....and I'm nearly too pooped out to post this message here.

That's not a 2 man job, 4 men for one day maybe.

 

[pantheraba]

Lotsa work involved in that tree. At least it still had some good rigging points for you to use. Looks like a tough one.

 

[PCTREE]

Lotta brush!

 

[Jed]

Wow Joel... Those were some really great pics. Man, that tree looked like a pita. All's well that ends well eh?

 

[candoarms]

No damage to person or property to report. A perfect job.....other than the 90 degree heat. Working over the roof was a real killer. The heat from the shingles makes for working in an oven. We took turns on the ropes. About 2 hours per shift. The new Tree Motion saddle was a blessing for this job. For the first time I felt like I could work in a tree all day long. Just love that saddle.

The entire tree was rigged down using the same rigging point, which we picked out immediately upon arrival. The tie-in point (TIP) for the climbing line also worked for the entire project. This probably wasn't the best scenario, but with only two guys on the job, we decided that we'd put up with a less than ideal TIP in exchange for the time savings.

The customer is extremely happy and wants us back for another Siberian Elm removal next Spring. That's good. I need a break. LOL

[Jed]

That's got to feel good sir. Well done!

 

[BOTS]

I removed black oak branch over solar panels, had to be very careful on this one

 

[Jed]

Ohhhh, mannn.... Better you than me Scott.

Good job. (I trust?)

I LOVE that shot of Trev asleep in the truck from Willie working him into the dirt. Train em up in the way they should go, eh Pop!
