And you went fishing.

Finished with all the aerial work. On to moving logs into the woods and burning one last pile.

Four more butt logs off 4 leaders were also flopped.

Both neighbors love the look of what's left.

The trunks that were leaning hard toward the neighbors' house were decayed in the heartwood to about 2/3 diameter.





People on the ground can hear the spars and logs cracking while being cut over the saw noise. The climber and hear and feel popping of the logs, mid-cut...very comforting 😉 .

 

[flushcut]

Well done!

 

[SeanKroll]

Thanks.

It was very relaxing 😉.

Finished this oak this morning. Glad it is over. It had lost its central leader in a storm. Quite a back lean so we used the GRCS from a tree far far way.

Flopper hour and half collect check.

Nice work @Patrick A . What did you do with the wood?

What town was that in? Are you slow, we are mad slow.

 

[Patrick A]

Derby. We are at 50% which suits us fine given the temperatures. Expectations are low between December and February so anything that shows up is welcome. I have a new engine coming for the chipper next week so the prep is keeping me busy.

 

[Patrick A]

Wood stays onsite. The oak scavengers will be busy

Don’t you know that’s highly valuable? Everyone in the universe knows that’s highly valuable!

 

[cory]

@Patrick A did you have to cut it to fw length or just get it down on the ground

 

[flushcut]

Don’t you know that’s highly valuable? Everyone in the universe knows that’s highly valuable!

But but but it’s an oak. Not even black oak. Lol “ma ma ma mamamamama mam are you retarded or something”

 

[Patrick A]

@cory we separated the brush from logs and left a path behind the fence. This way people can buck and haul away. In these situations we try to leave the site as convenient as possible in case we get a call later to clean up.

That's exactly what I was thinking

I was like: you sure that's not highly valuable? It looks highly valuable to me.

Except the bark was a bit off.

 

[treebogan]

I badly underpriced this removal back in the summer. Then a passer by stole my rake when I was running logs to the yard.

 

[friedrich]

interesting setup, i didn’t realize you were based in norway. bummer for the underbidding and the rake.

 

[cory]

that's some fine looking equipment you have

 

[flushcut]

Thieves to the chipper!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sux to be punished by a thief after taking a bath on a job. I keep telling myself though, its an average. Dont dwell on a botched estimate. Learn, move on.

 

[cory]

Yes, btw, misery loves company, always nice to hear of other's occasional goof ups since we've all done it...some more than others (looks in mirror)!

 

[Mick!]

I think the rake thing is a joke.
I mean the rake was stolen, but was a drop in the ocean financially on the job.

 

[cory]

Um, you haven't heard what the job was priced at. Turns out the rake eliminated what was left of the profit margin

 

[Cobleskill]

Seems like trees always get bigger after your bid.

 

[Mick!]

I’m not

Seems like trees always get bigger after your bid.

They do change, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, lot depends on your mood when you quote.

But but but it’s an oak. Not even black oak. Lol “ma ma ma mamamamama mam are you retarded or something”

Looking again the bark is off as @Nutball stated. Which type of oak is that? From my view it still appears highly valuable. My eyes ain’t what they used to be though
