Funky!

 

[BIGTWIG]

So…… it’s not snowing everywhere else in the country?

Occasionally, up high in elevation

I was working on the land today.

 

[davidwyby]

almost 100f

 

[CurSedVoyce]

More Kaveman action. Got the second trees tops gone. All the chipping is done and the front log (the easier of the two) is about all down. Job like this, a man just can't have enough blocks, rope and dead eyes. Even the KK is playing.
Tried to capture more of the really goofy one for perspective.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Some more

 

[Kaveman]

Before, at the start of the job yesterday morning, and the after is today.


Was a good day.

Frank's wife joined us, and that's always nice. That woman could out work many men that I know. She rakes like the mess offends her, and she keeps the tidiest burn piles, bar none. Also, she is a crafty type, and I bought several knitted stuffies for my daughters from her. She also repairs a lot of Stephen's gear. Oh, and she makes the best throw balls money can buy.

That leaner is much bigger than the perspective the initial pics give. Nice work, all.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

True, you get a 6' plus climber up there, it does illuminate the size.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Kinda of fun at one point of the day for me. I ran up one of the lines I had set yesterday to take some brush and a hung limb off just below Kavey. Could damn near shake hands from two different trees. I have blocks and climb lines hung in 4 cedars surrounding the trees being removed. Cedars are staying but providing other rigging points down the log as wellas work positioning.

 

[SeanKroll]

It's great seeing you two teamed up!

The maple butt log was very max capacity for the loader at that size.

I was butt- heavy on the trailer, so drove 40mph to the shop a few miles down the main country road to my shop.

Climbed two declining madrones, one a see-through butt with a pogtail trunk.

Once the last piece of brush was off, without anything to dampen the vibration, it was like standing on a wiggly spring/ thick jello. Very, very weird.

All was okay enough until I was at the top with the the leads at the topping point. The wind started blowing and trees swaying, so I free-dropped a hard-leaning lead. Miriam said she was surprised how much the trunk moved over sideways at rest, after that piece was off.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You sure climb some punky stuff Sean.
Thats a.bigg butt

 

[CurSedVoyce]

All down. Last bit of log, control felled and lowered with the KK and HOBBS, with a butt tie. We then bucked the log and raised pieces with the HOBBS. Then manuered it closer to the drop off, put a tag line on them, swinginging them into the LZ. Wood stayed on site.View attachment Messenger_creation_46818CC3-6FB5-454E-A78F-6E157E330355.mp4View attachment Messenger_creation_98C20683-D33B-45E7-AD27-C8D64A6E1821.mp4View attachment Messenger_creation_F6435CDC-A534-4677-8E98-8DB8A06E3510.mp4

Today I sawed down a rotten poplar and a couple of rotten oaks.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Really rotten ! Bleagh

 

[Maximalist]

Bleagh? What does this mean?

 

[treebilly]

Yucky. Icky. Disgusting.

 

[treebilly]

Finally used the reon rounds tether I bought years ago. It was ok. Decent sized pin oak that had large dead and suffered storm damage. Sealed the large wounds.

 

[cory]

Is it better than a more standard textile tether, or too soon to tell?

 

[treebilly]

Not sure. I don’t use the wrench enough to really know. I’ve got at least three wrenches and probably five different tethers. I just didn’t feel like digging for my rope runner today.

Is that little orange light inside the cavity daylight shining in?
