Keeping it real is all.

But just think of the extra money you can now charge!!! And you know they have it

This poor guy is building a nightmare of a house. They built in the bottom of a drainage. Once the foundation was done it filled with 2 feet of mud and every time it rained they flooded. They spent almost a full year just trying to find somebody who was able and capable of digging the 14' deep mud pit to connect the sewer line. Trees keep dying and falling over in the now cluster fukked backyard. Dude is at whits end and not that bright for wanting to build in the bottom of a drainage that at least 700 acres drains into. One or two inches is fine but anymore than that and it's a flowing valley with a house in the middle.

I would have a good, belly laugh at the guy except that the house that I live in is in a notorious flood-plain.

 

[Tree09]

It seems they will build houses wherever they think someone will buy it, not if it's a good location or even a safe one!

I am sure his insurance premiums are high.

Almost a mess today. 40ft ish wide spreading mulberry, 20inch dbh, lots of splits and hung up limbs in other trees, weighted towards neighbours yard. They kindly granted access.
Shallow face notch, cut way too easy, I'm not that good at sharpening chain, maasdam pulling on split limb hanging in other tree.

BC saddled nicely, wide limbs sure saved the day. Maasdam cinched the split together. Limbs cleared, walked a shit load of bucking cuts till the tree was standing on it's own limbs in a tripod. Pulled that over, no damage. No visible lawn damage! No, really!!

Looks like you won the lottery. Good job

 

[MasterBlaster]

Easy money!!!

 

[cory]

Murphed it!

 

[pantheraba]

Bad boy!!

 

[Raj]

Not me! I wasn't trying to do it on purpose!

 

[flushcut]

Murphed it!

Haven't read that one in a while.

 

[squisher]

Who's in the background Peter? Looks like you've got the same helper as Mick?

 

[Raj]

That's my 70 year old asthmatic ground help. Decent help. I've had him for about a year.

 

[Mick!]

Walled garden with a Douglas fir and maple removal.

No chance of getting the chip truck/trailer in, so blew the chip over and loaded the wood over the wall into the trailer.

 

[stig]

Nicely done!

 

[Patrick A]

Good planning and execution. It is a nice wall, different than ones with broken wine bottles embedded in concrete.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I last saw that in the Philippines. A most definite way to deter anyone climbing over, especially when the fence is 6 or 7 feet tall. I always like the 7-Up or Sprite green bottles... they were pretty! Glistening in the moonlight!

 

[pantheraba]

Thinking outside the box and over the wall! Great solution.

 

[BlackSmith]

The old stone barns are cool too.

 

[treebilly]

Ran though almost 3 gallons of mix today taking down a spar from yesterday. Sorry no pics of the tree but having to do this ate up a few tanks

Plus a few sharpenings. It’s been a while since my arms were jelly

 

[flushcut]

Dear God that's a lot of cutting!

 

[lumberjack]

One of the trees from yesterday. Had a playset under the tree with the slide nearly touching and running 3-4' in front of the tree towards the drop zone.

No stubs!!! Good to see you break out the big saw when it was needed! Most people like to pack more saw than necessary.
