The Official Work Pictures Thread

When the length of the car lift turned out to be insufficient, I work in a combined way.. Today was especially cool!) First it started raining, then it started snowing. Moreover, the snowfall was such a force that it was not even in winter! I was thrilled!

I feel both wet and cold, looking at these pictures Max. I am reminded how nice retirement is .

In fact, as a firefighter, I have been receiving a pension since 2011. People are all different, some are waiting for retirement as a salvation, while others lack the extreme for complete happiness!)

I am no fan of wet and cold.

Some storm damage... a large shore pine that was topped a long time ago.

The two of us brushed and chipped 95% in a handful of hours.

I'll chunk down short logs for firewood to be cut by the homeowner. The butt log might become table slabs for nostalgic reasons. Chips for garden paths at this small farm.



I came down once to help chip in the middle.



NC-roped the brush from near the road to a DZ closer to the chipper.

How would you cable this?

Since removal likely isn't an option, probably have to go triangular, possibly lower than usual given the damaged area

It’s not a very big tree each stem is about 14” and the top is busted out of one of the leads. It could use a thinning and has a clear shot from the far right to the far left but the two in the middle are basically in line with the far right side. I’m thinking one cable right to left. It’s exposed as the lake is about 100’ away then nothing for five miles of water.

I try to avoid triangular when possible....lotta work

Center lead, spider it so the out ward leaning equal out pull (sort of)from center. Kind of like a bridge or yarder rigging. I see several places need for the bracing (all thread) as the stems braced together may not be all that.

They are indeed.

I’ll see what he wants to pay for.

Multiple cables at different elevations maybe? In the first pic the center looks kinda thin compared to the left side. Is it getting choked out from the opposing stems?

 

[flushcut]

Thin on the front side fat on the backside. Multiple cables was my first thought, but they will probably be low as the one side has a good sized crack down the trunk from where the top broke out.

 

[treebilly]

Brace the crack shut and then cable? Personally I’d cut it out and start over

Removal was suggested “but we love the shade” because that’s all they have.

Today I cut the branches on the lime trees. I got 10 lime trees in total. Some of them are -

Everything is painted over with magic paint!)
