Ok, fair enough

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm nothing if not fair.

Maple wreck over a fence and road. Day 1

5 months ago, an included-bark fork ripped out, taking out the neighboring church's furnace. Last week, without a storm, another bad fork split, landing in the yard, on top of some building material for a garage in the middle of being built. They go lucky, and didn't have any damage to the funny osb/ foam sandwiched panels, or the trusses.

The rest of the yard had been cleared for fruit and nut trees, and a patch of grass for the young daughter, then this tree failed. The whole landscape is being redone, so I don't even have to worry about impact. The big trunks will make a dent, unless I can flop them onto a chip pile (mulch for the orchard). All the material can be chipped onsite or dumped around the corner at the church's community gardern. The mini will move the chipper in and around. I couldn't drive it in with a truck, due to the site situation.

My chipper is at another job in the country which was the original plan for the day, but rain changed that. It didn't work out logistically to go get it first, so I just stacked material for the chipper until I was out of room, and we were out of time.

I learned an important lesson, remember than when a tree loses a big piece in a storm, the lower trunks can be cracked without total failure, for 5 months! I was thinking of rigging off that leader to swing pieces from over the fence into an open drop.

Didn't get a Before pic, and was pretty busy with this one. Mostly dry conditions, but it rained for half and hour while I was up there.

I'll speedline or lower the street side of the canopy into the yard, to the chipper.






Annual pruning customer's flowering Thundercloud plums. Their family is a distributor for children's clothing, and gave Dahlia a rain jacket and matching boots from their inventory. A nice tip!

Good stuff Reg.

Nasty, failed willow over a couple fences.

 

[pantheraba]

That looks wild! Hope you have more pictures of how you unsnarled that mess, Willie.

 

[sotc]

Not really, bit by bit, drop cuts and toss cuts.
Broken axle it is! Now to pull the carrier

 

[Raj]

Yes, great pics Sean and Willie!

My little twig from the other day. Solo take down, "tree guy" I climbed for didn't send help. The wind wouldn't let
me dump the top any other way, but it fell gentle as a feather I tell ya.



Then off to the girlfriend's place to top up her A/C.

 

[Raj]

Today's pine. Again no help sent.

 

[sotc]

"How long you been running saw?"

"Since I was 8."

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sounds like Carl.

 

[biggun]

Is it normal to book some work in and then the company not send help?

I would be charging through the nose or telling them to f'off if that happened to me.

 

[Limbrat]

That's a gnarly looking tree there Willie. Cool pics Peter, I see your'e putting your ISC mini to good use. Pretty handy little block.

It seems to be for me. They are small jobs not a big deal per say, but annoying. Pay is good....so far.......

Thanks Ray, loved the block so much I bought a spare one!

Jed,that is quite the view brother,love it when the crappy weather days turn into great workdays.

Thaks, mate! Here's another funny one the homeowner took of us right before one of the last cuts.

Peter: Great work. Single-Jack no less!

Mick: Really great shots. Beautiful over there.

 

[Steve Mack]

That's a good one Jed.

Well just when I thought I'd done just about everything I get to de bean a Black Bean


A few branches over next door and a few bins of beans. Old lady, one dropped on her sons head while he was there the other day. Would have hurt, they're not light.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Them's some beans

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Whole new meaning to getting Beaned on the head....

 

[Bermy]

Just to mix it up, de-nutting coconuts on the beach...small ones are full of water, very refreshing.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've never drank the stuff, cool.

 

[bstewert]

Can you explain the de-nutting process? I'm not sure what that is.

 

[FireFighterZero]

We call it castration, but use rubber rings instead of a knife anymore.
