Where is Stig when you need him...

He's still on an all nighter. Bottom right corner wearing the shades....it has to be. Got this off his live feed.

Haha yeah, she hit hard, I missed the skinny snow pile not my best job but had room for error. I can really fowl up a face cut double cutting

What's the old saying, anyone who has never fowled anything up was too chicken to try anything.

 

[treebilly]

Not making light of the dilemma for you Rich… is it your trailer?

Not mine and I wasn't the driver. Can't fire the guy that did it either. Owners brother.

That was a big one Willie. Had to make a nice sound.

 

[Limbrat]

Amazing pics guys. Willie that was a giant. I've got 'em to de-energize single phase primary here but never three phase. In some places it would be possible but would take considerable switching to keep most of the customers hot. Were they going to charge to kill that line?

Yeah, so can everyone on a pig like that. You ever try Beranek's log-tape, mark the corners trick...? works a charm.

Oh yeah, and what in the world ate into that other Fir so hard way up there like that? That's a weird catface, man.

btw... totally agree that it'd be wrong to throw the boys under the bus even if you coulda climbed it all day long.

Yeppie, you got it

This is up in the mountains, crew last week said it'd be easy, guys that came yesterday said they'd knock out more people than expected.
No charge to drop that single, only affected the lodge and some closed camp grounds. Lodges generator kicked on as soon as the power went out so no biggie.
He did have some folks load up their car and hit the road, got scared.

Use it all the time on tight stuff Jed, gets the corners right.

What's the "log tape mark the corners trick"? Please

 

[sotc]

Someone stands 50' (15-20 meters ) from the tree in the lay and pinches the 50' mark on 2 log tapes together. Other guy stretches each tape back to each side of the tree, that is the jist of it. The end of each tape marks the back of the face cut

 

[Mick!]

Ahhhh, thanks.

 

[Raj]

Started to take down a great looking ash tree, wind picked up, a bit of rain, and the tree wasn't doing too well up higher, spent about an hour climbing. Choose to pull over the twig next to it to get something done. HO clean up.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crazy!

 

[pete mctree]

Nice job Willie - I seldom get to fell trees doing Arb work

 

[Jed]

Shoot, that Fir wasn't nothin. I did a waaaaay bigger Maple today... ...



Split in half up the included bark when it hit.



Pig tried to barber-chair on me... shoulda bored it.



Andy gets his saw stuck in like the first 3" of his first buck. Don't tell him I told you...



Then I just barely elevated this one we've got to do tomorrow, and my 10 yard chip truck looked like this...

 

[woodslinger]

That's got to be the ugliest Jed-hinge I've ever seen!!

 

[treebilly]

He didn't Doctor it up for us maple leaves some ugly hinge wood. They always seem to have included bark or some rotten hole in them

 

[sotc]

Haha, at least twice the size! You trying to swing it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice fell Willie and Jed.
Awesome pictures August.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's one full chippa truck!!!

 

[treebilly]

A few from today
And one of tomorrow's climb. The property owner made it very clear that he expected not one twig to be broken on any tree out of the ROW. It's an easy wreck. No roping, just a few well placed cuts in the canopy to skinny it up
Of course the weatherman says 2 inches of rain tomorrow so it might be an easy Friday

 

[August Hunicke]

Jed, sizwheel one side, floating Dutchman other side eh?

 

[August Hunicke]

Hope no rain today here....

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think you sent the rain to me!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Sheeit, we have had 3 tenths since December.

We could use a rain.
