Nothing interesting today. The usual training trees. Three pine trees were cut down -

Today was a pretty busy day. I removed dry branches from 8 pines, cut down 4 skinny birches and cut down 2 quite interesting pines.

I like that house. Interesting color and form.

 

[Maximalist]

I liked this house too. It even has a balcony (1). The color is typically St. Petersburg. This color looks very good in the long autumn and endless winter. I asked about the date of construction of this house - 1963.

 

[lxskllr]

Newer than I thought. I agree regarding the color. It's both naturalistic, but also kind of bold. It blends into the woods without disappearing. Not that I mind disappearing houses. Dark green and brown make fantastic house colors, but I like that earthy gold.

Nice work Max. I miss pines.

Here is a great monkey pod.. I volunteered w a couple other climbers.

 

[Maximalist]

This is just a fantastic tree!

 

[cory]

the most insane tree I've ever seen Wow!!!

 

[treebilly]

I got your pines for you Deva

This was the heaviest today but they all were decent sized. Nothing less than 3000#’s. Nice tight radius made for big picks. The LZ was kinda tight with this one though. I’ve got the biggest of the four to deal with tomorrow.

Any plans to brace or cable it to keep it from eventually breaking?

 

[Burnham]

What a gorgeous tree, Deva. Magnificent.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nothing pretty today for me.
Such a magnificent tree Deva.
Mine, ick.
Climbed the "green" also cracked side and made it go away from the fence. Even the ants had moved out.
Then I slayed a perfectually live leaner and pruned for a cable job another live tree next to the second story roof. More tomorrow. Rest requires a crane in a couple weeks.

 

[cory]

Deva, looks like you guys did a perfect job on that tree

Beastly machines

 

[Bodean]

Dude, Rich fly me out any time…. I’d love to work w a crane all day..

Nutball I would say never.. they usually break farther out, lots of deadwood in under story.. many long limb hikes to get it.

Cool tree indeed, less than 130 years old.

Today I defeated a not very simple maple tree -

Today and yesterday, I gave a roof a little more room. Cabled one of them. Literally hung one in a tree I was pruning and let the boys pull it over in a controlled fell as it was lowered. Took some dead wood around the driveway for the crane day. Good day.
And no knomes were hurt in the process.

Making firewood out of the yankflop. I discovered the 395 with 404 skip doesn’t need much reaming, just rips…til that one cut. Pinched totally solid but the chain would still run. Beat all kinds of wedges in no luck. Cut more rounds off with the 2175. Finally ocurred to me to use the long bar on the 2175 to plunge and roll the rounds. 395 still stuck! Locust that was growing next to the oak had it in a death grip.

Poor cutting on my part too. Seems I’m always trying to cut an arch. Should I have started from the top. Small tops small problems. Also should have used the little roller stick trick.

Tough old Oregon bar…


Owl poop tree firewooded.

Another tree finished dying while I was gone. Lot of limb weight out to the road. He wants to just yank it. Might get some smeller trees and a wire fence….

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Got about 10 cedars to do at a ranch up in the national forest. We started today and I got two stripped and topped and had a full trailer. I'll have two trailers there tomorrow.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Topped them at 75' and am making gin poles out of them to drift logs to.
Just enough rope with out having to use my 200 footer. 1 fiddy is fine.

 

[stikine]

Are they worried about those being too close to the structure? They look healthy.

Are they worried about those being too close to the structure? They look healthy.

I’m wondering the same thing and was gonna ask the same question.

 

[Burnham]

Me too.
