Thanks for the welcome.
You'd be out of here like a shot then Rajan, it's either wires or no access.

Lordy!!!
You guys need a good storm to make the power companies wake up.
After the "storm of the century" in 1999 ( which kept me busy doing forest clean-up and salvage for 1½ years!!) took out the electricity in the country for days and in some places weeks, they started putting all powerlines in the ground except for the really high voltage ones.
That project is nearly finished, and it sure has made our job easier.

You guys would despise my area. Theres a reason I don't use cranes. I simply cant. Too many bare wires everywhere. I mean everywhere. Too much headache to use a crane. Crane companies walk away constantly when I show them the work. I rig and rope around wires for a living pretty much.

The mini ex/digger getting work done.
The second stump starts at 2:07
The bush removal starts at 4:07
The third stump ("huge" oak) starts at 4:31

The 540 after it got the stump moved to the "Stump Monument."

Carl mount one of those cameras just above the 'knuckle' on that mini-ex. facing down towards the bucket so the POV moves with the bucket. Kinda like right above the hyd ram...
I am sure my lingo is wrong.. sorry. you get my drift.

Gotcha, on the dipper aimed at the bucket. The only problem for time lapse with that is that it sucks to watch as the background is moving too much. If I made the boom a bigger portion of the shot, it would give the eye/mind something to anchor on.
We started the ash grafting stock program today.
Lovely weather, nice tall trees and they actually pay us to climb them
They have everything lined up, so the stock we cut today, will be grafted tomorrow. Minimun delay should hopefully assure succes.

Those ash appear to be immune to the ash die-back then stig?
Impressive tree to re-populate with

Hopefully.
All the trees around the one in the picture was either dead or dying.
They don't fgure that the ones we are taking grafting stock from are completely immune, but rather that they have the ability to compartmentalize the fungus.
They had originally found 66 trees here on the island ( we'll move on to the mainland next week). Those were each infected by the fungus by means of placing an ifected chunk of wood from a dying tree in direct contact with the cambium layer.
That took out about ½ of them. The rest survived and will hopefully be the basis from which future ash trees will come.
And yes, that one was a fine specimen.
Had a real fine veneer log on it, too. ( sorry, I am after all a logger).
