Stephen has top tier ground support, I know this for a fact.

Quick and dirty take downs today. Had a slot for one of the neighbors and killed the Aleppo pine and the little spindly conifer that almost looked like lodgepole both next to primaries.
The chicken barn was not being framed when I looked at it a few days ago. So more time and rope needed to make it fit in the desired LZ.

Why the hell would people do that? Hire tree work, then start putting up a building right there in the work zone. I am bumfuzzled

Makes me laugh anymore.
Even when you wanna just say out loud "dumbass!".
Just made more money is all. And I need it badly. Probably not going to recover from our slow period and accident financially for more than a year. Bring it on!

Good enough then. At least you can revise the bid, or I suppose, walk.
Carry on, make more moolah. You sure deserve it.

That's all to the good, Stephen.
Is Kavey coming back into your fold after he sees his girls?

Yes, he'll be back late next week.
I even have some jobs it'll be two climbers pruning blue oaks
Big enough trees to have two climbers in at the same time.

The ticket is bought, and Stephen ain't lost patience with me yet. Also, it's too much fun to leave it be.

It’s fun as hell working with other tree peeps that know what’s going on. Even tho it’s work but it’s fun work, trash talking, looking out for one another, good times.

This is true, I have found. I was lucky enough to find a niche with the USFS that reflected that, much of the time.

I had one job 2 years ago, taking down multiple trees and pruning the rest, if I recall it was 4 or 5 smaller cherry and poplar over ~14x30 shedWhy the hell would people do that? Hire tree work, then start putting up a building right there in the work zone. I am bumfuzzled
we were actively climbing while the shed installer was putting trim on, couldn't have had the work done a day earlier?

I would have refused to do the work until the other crew was gone.
Fired a client for that once.

dude was in and out before we could say anything, just had 1 or 2 pieces to install
I just find it crazy how people will get work like that done, THEN have tree work done!
best part is, I worked for another company last year at the same property, he had the whole back yard cleared out including everything near the shed
no kidding, logging will break a "tough guy" in a few hours!

This was a fun job. We removed this recently dead black walnut. Back yard, lots of hardscaping, not a ton of good rigging points. We got the branches off no problem and as we got into the wood the client started dreaming of walnut wood. He asks us to cut pieces as big as we can. I tell him ok but we’re not responsible if something gets broken. I don’t mind anyway since this means we don’t have to haul the wood as we had planned. We succeed in getting the 3 main leads down in 8’ pieces, including a last 10’ piece we dropped right into the only clear spot 😁. We got it all down to the stem pictured here. Our bid was to leave it at that. They wanted that sweet sweet log. I told them to look into the possibility of getting a crane into the neighbors and maybe we could get it out. Cool.They have a couple crane companies look at it, no love. To far of a reach. The piece is about 8’ long and 40” diameter. According to the log chart it sits around 10,000lbs.
They as of I can drop it into the yard so they can get it out with a forklift. Problem is it’s on the outside of a stone wall and about 2’ below the wall top. I tell them, you give me all day and I can do it.
I loaded up my truck with 2x4s, 4x4s, and 6x6s, along with half a dozen lengths of 2” thick wall steel pipe. Chainsaw, wedges and a 20 ton bottle jack an I’m off.
Cut all the way through and cut out on opposite sides for the jack. Then I
