The Official Work Pictures Thread

[pantheraba]

Lordy, y'all do some big trees. Always glad to see your work.

 

[Bixler]

The Wraptor was key, it allowed us to get the brush off and chipped up before sending wood down into the small work area, especially since we don't have a big machine to move wood if it's in the way.

Good to know re wraps, Jed. I don't own any decent 3 strand, but good to know.

 

[Sgriff]

Those were some epic pictures Bix.
Those "seen from above" shots especially.

 

[rskybiz]

Bix great photos! Amazed at the dead you all are dealing with out there. From your pictures and CV'S and I know your a ways apart. One heck of a change in the landscape with them all dead and dying I'm sure.

When one tree goes another grows...

Awesome job Brian and good set of pics!!

Wish I could have helped u but I had my jobs and a lot of vehicle maintenance to get done.

That eucalyptus from last week.

treehouse is #1

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet tee shirt! Do you have to grind the stump?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Tree just keeps getting bigger as you go. Lotta tree in a tight place. Nice work.

 

[Sgriff]

Thanks Stephen,was a 3 day ordeal for me to get it down.
Definitely one of the eldest eucs in the county,they started getting planted about 1912 I believe.took 3 slings to attach the porty.
Thanks Butch,i love that shirt 😉
He isn't grinding the stump,huuuge root flare on that piece.he said few $k but he would make it level and haul excess🙄

 

[MasterBlaster]

Thanks Butch,i love that shirt

I think it's the coolest climber shirt out there, with ArbTalk's running a close second. AS's and TB's look like shite.

 

[Limbrat]

That was a whopper.

 

[Steve Mack]

Good job. Gum's, Jacaranda's and palms, looks just like Sydney.

Nice shirt.

 

[Jed]

Daaaanng, Grif... Yeah, you're right. Standing on the stump IS a good way to get perspective. You and Brian make my trees look like pencils. Holy smoke.

 

[Jed]

Hella job!!!

Good to know re wraps, Jed. I don't own any decent 3 strand, but good to know.

No problem Cory... just drop us a few hinge pics by the end of the week, and I'll drop all charges for my priceless advice. If not, I'm sure we can work something out via PayPal.

 

[Bodean]

Dang. Big tree. Great job.

 

[stig]

Huge by my standards.
Is Euc wood good for anything or just trash?

 

[Steve Mack]

There's a lot of them, some are rubbish but most are really good timber.

Google Iron Bark Bowl images. Iron bark is my favorite tree, timber lasts forever. Grey Box, Tallowood, Brush Box plus heaps of others are good for all sorts of things.

 

[stig]

Oh, I know that. They sell burl from them to woodturners here.
I was referring to Eucalyptus globulus the one introduced to North America.
Should have written that in a way that was more understandable, sorry.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Good show fellers.

 

[Sgriff]

All the different types almost always get turned to mulch at the green recycling but some goes to firewood and some to raw furniture/structures here n there,these people kept a small amount of very specific pieces to build some type of structure with (maybe a gazebo or something of the like)

Himalayan Blackberries galore have overtaken the landscape...

Basic tree work. Reclaimed space in the lost orchard and a space to become an outdoor psychotherapy space. Had to pull the expandable tracks in to 34.5", the narrow position, to access the one part of the property. I squeezed in many tight places. The rock mosaic and deck are side-by-side with a 3' wide path and a tight, but not dead 90* turn.

Easy, low-risk, solo, lever fiddling, and a bit of climbing and sawing. Chipped 2-3 yards, which will be used as mulch in the reclaimed areas.

These people had a new septic put in 4 years ago. The top of a 4' diameter fir has died already, maybe 30'. A project for another day. They were surprised to hear that digging up the roots of a bunch of big trees would affect them.


The red flagging were keeper plants mixed in with over-head-high blackberries. They will burn the berries in place, in small fires in four areas. Easy peasy disposal, all onsite.


I used the grapple to dig/ pull some roots on this dying hazelnut/ filbert tree, then pushed and pulled on it from two opposite sides. Slight, unimportant lawn damage, and 1/2 an hour of work, and its out at the roots, down to the burn pit.
