The Official Work Pictures Thread

We just did our first Irma tree. Home owner realized their largest pine is within range of the house. He told us we could fell it into the yard, no climbing...not...it would have broken/gotten hung in neighboring pine. I bombed everything, Alex chipped the bomblets. Waiting in ATL area to see what the winds bring today.

And picts....thought we would have to pull with truck...lean was back and off to one side. Was able to use wedges and Alex an HO (another firefighter) hand pulled. Good to see that work.

One down... many to follow!

Next time you have to wedge/pull a spar like that over, try gutting the hinge.
That helps a lot.

 

[pantheraba]

Very good tip...I knew that but it didn't occur to me at the time. Good reminder.

Nice work Gary.

 

[Bodean]

Great job, Gary!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Rawk on!!!

Makes me crack a smile when it was going to be a truck-pull, turned bang-over. I'm still impressed by the powerthe power of wedging, and 'simple machines'.

Well done, Gary.

Dude... I was thinking it was gonna be a 24" box tree....Now you're telling me a 48" box....

The AM grinding inverted almost 3 feet down... I don't think a regular super jr.. or self-propelled goes that deep...

After stump grinding...climbing doesn't seem that bad.

Hope you get paid well for that Deva. Three foot deep seems like someone planted it to deep to me.

 

[squisher]

I would be tempted to bury myself in the hole I think.

Crazy grinding!

 

[treebilly]

Kinda what I was thinking Justin.

 

[Bodean]

That was a 2200 tree 5 hours...2 guys and chipper.

[Bodean]

Thanks. Sometimes I need to calibrate... try to shoot for 100/hr/person and then the moon.

I did a job in Twitter's backyard about a month ago. So I took a picture.
