Biggest fear on those axman jobs would be a rogue wind putting top back on wedges and wondering where it was gonna decide to go .....or not go at all with no notch to fall into.

Not sure you're ready, wayne.


the correct reply would have been,
"count the Rope in, cause the Rope is on board"!

See, the Rope has to know what the Rope wants, or he is just ropensaddle.

Treeclinber Family Reunion.

We met today on a homeowners property that some buddies, (and me) have been maintaining for a loooong time. I have worked on and off for 20 odd years with these guys, all memorable.

Curry, the climber in the pics, started in this yard 18 years ago. Bernie, owner of B-Rite tree, has had it for 8-10 years. I've been helping out for 3 myself.

The ideal HO, very wealthy, $$ thousands a year in pruning and fertilizing, Lightning protection and occasional removals. anal about clean-up, but in a good way, ya know?

Curry took the big poplar removal. I had to carve out a drop zone by pruning a red bud and a river birch, and I worked the camera and the saw,
mike, (a climber as well) ran the rope thru the porta wrap. we had 2 BADA$$ mexican guys, who did ALL the grunt work.
Was like perfect cohesion, a dream team. 4 climbers, 2 outstanding movers, and the absent paying customer who trusts us implicitly.

The Poplar.

Mike and the DZ.

Dos Amigos and the BC 1000 chipper that ate it all.

Small world, I bid that job !! NOT !! I have trouble cutting me a Christmas tree ! I been doin their plumbing for years . One of a kind house , every thing custom design , you can't buy the light switches in town . The main house , three levels , all windows on the back overlooking the river ,yet only one bedroom. Guess so the Slayer won't ask to spend the night ! Mechanical room like a hospital . They don't play when it comes to that crib and rightly so . Nice couple . This adds a lot to your rep in my book . They know everybody , it's not like they you guys called from a flyer in the mailbox . I was supposed to finish up some things there couple months ago , ooops .........forgot when the wife's cancer got worse , hope I didn't piss them off.

 

[treeslayer]

Norm, my parents need plumbing work, you need firewood?

Always took a fishing pole on the trips , next time I should take spikes and a MS 200 . LOL !
