Cool wood chimney/bonfire idea, Rich, let us know how it works out.

How did you cut around the pipe, or did you cut thru it?

Found a pipe holding up a massive amount of pin oak today. It had cracks we could fit our hands in this morning, fresh heaving of the ground and sidewalk, and o lot of perfectly healthy foiliage and wood above 12 foot.

Dealt with a bunch of “privledged” people that were upset it was coming down till they saw the last cut. I think I’m gonna haul it home and build a sweet bonfire for trick or treat next week. I’m planning on setting it upright, stabilizing with greener logs around it, filling it with dry wood, and cutting out some holes for flames and air. Should be one heck of an attraction. Prolly should let FD know ahead of time

Oh please oh please carve it like a jack-o-lantern first. I have seen this done and it's pretty badass.

Cory I think the hollow trunk was the pipe itself.

 

[treebilly]

The tree was the pipe Cory sorry for the confusion. I’ll post a pic of the fire if the firewood guy doesn’t want it. He’s been getting picky lately so it should be mine.
I will do my best Rajan. That’s the plan. Just depends on who all comes to help if jack shows up it’ll be a massacre

 

[cory]

Doh!!

Dang, you beat me to it.

Pass out angry orchard ciders while your angry jack-o-lantern tree burns

 

[squisher]

Don't forget the angry treeguy shirts.

 

[Nutball]

Just dress up like that angry dude for halloween

Medieval culvert/canal type thingy, some ash had grown tall and awkward in the stonework.

The loader boomed out to get the last gubbins, saved a lot of cutting and handballing.

 

[biggun]

Nice work Mick.

Do you rate that loader over an Avant?

 

[Mick!]

No idea Rich, the colour matched my truck.

 

[biggun]

Haha. I need to find a red loader then if that is the case.

I was using an Avant today. Red and green should never be seen, unless there is something in between.

 

[Mick!]

There’s a thread on here somewhere, Ed (Thor’s Hammer) used to import and sell Avants, he explains the split between them and MO, not much in it as far as I can glean.

 

[Burnham]

Pretty nice machine there, Mick. Fine as frog's hair.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder how Ed's getting on these days...

 

[Burnham]

Me too. Miss that old bastard .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hope the raves didn't get to him.

 

[biggun]

I think Ed has had another kid.

So probably knackered.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I thought he was partying all the time.

 

[squisher]

Sometimes that leads to children.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Only if you do it wrong!!!

 

[biggun]

Or you are too pissed and forget something or two.

 

[MasterBlaster]

If I'm that drunk I don't need to worry about protection. My limp soldier will defend me to the end!!!

 

[Raj]

Whiskey dick to the rescue!

Had a couple...3 hours to do some more limbing... Moved my rope to top, DdRT back down to leave to leave a throw line easily. What a hassle...erratic friction.

2.5 hours yesterday with a groundie. Solo today, aka simple and easy.






















Prep for tomorrow, 2 groundies. Hope to get it to a short spar tomorrow. Maybe a bit ambitious. Just threw a bit of small branches out of the driving path. they can chip tomorrow.

I realized that the big swooping things will take a while to get down in big pieces, then transport, and are going to add to the firewood pile.

Tomorrow, I'll wraptor up to 20" diameter to pop the top. My climbing rope will be in position to pull the pull-rope into place. Windy the wrong way today, probably more of the same tomorrow. Big parking lot to dump into.

Chip some onsite, haul some chips maybe. Maybe cant some 12' logs with the alaskan mill. lighter to load, and will then fit the bandsaw mill.
