A big tree outfit with lots of eqpt and crane showed up at 830 last night next door to my sons house. His neighbor has had 80 foot pine on house about 2 weeks...tree company got brush off 2 weeks ago and tarped it. Showed up in the dark to remove trunk...backside of house roof...bad access. Seemed crazy to me. How often do cranes work in dark?
Every single bucket truck I've owned since my first one 13 years ago have had spotlights on them for working at night. I have never used the spotlights on any job, ever.
Chestnut oak with a deck built around it from a few weeks ago. Controlled speedline for most of the brush, the wood under the deck was interesting to get out.
Love the crane pics cuz I loves me a crane. Paul, now that you've had the crane a couple years (?), how have your operating skills improved since day 1. Do you see yourself being even better in a few more years or does the curve level off once you've been running it week in/week out for awhile? Just wondering, thanks.
Oh man there just isn't enough money to make me do hedges any more. You really need to question the judgement of anyone who would want you to hedge trim a bunch of trees at 20' anyway. I've been asked a few times and always just say I'm not interested.
Got to flop a fat pine tree today across the back yard of a million dollar lakefront house. I was supposed to use my bucket truck but they neglected to tell me about the 10' wide strip next to the pool with a 30 degree side slope and a power pole and fence on the down side. No way in hell was I going to get in there and slide into the power pole. So I paced it off, decided it would fit between the pool deck and another tree, then pulled out the Flop-O-Matic. Less than 30 minutes start to finish. Sorry I forgot my camera.
Tomorrow I have a relatively short but fat camphor removal. Pool screen, house, fence. About 48" at the stump according to the landscaper. Will bring the camera for giggles.
