More emergency jobs from last Friday's storm. Nothing special workwise, everything pretty standard, but one poor guy had the entire forest behind his house demolished. Dozens and dozens of mature trees laid flat, all in the same direction. But his mosquito tent enclosure on his back deck was still there. Weird. Waiting for my climber to send me the pics he took on his iPhone.
Back out tomorrow for emergency jobs, but I think Wednesday we're back on schedule - unless the phone rings again.
Here too man.....have some good pics from all the crane work we have been doing, if I get time will post em later. Still doing insurance jobs into next week and maybe the next! The damage in some parts is nothing I have ever seen before large scale wise. Ran into Pelorus aka Dave today looking at a whopper of a job we are starting tomorrow. New mini I bought has been so awesome this week clearing debris and loading the chipper etc.... This is by far the biggest storm damage and work wise $$$$ I have seen in a long time. All the tree co's are swamped around here which is awesome!
Was neat to see you today. The poor bugger next door where we were working got hammered bad. At least 35-40 large trees snapped off or uprooted in the immediate vicinity of his cottage, in addition to the couple on his roof. His ins. broker suggested to him that he might want to consider not putting a claim in because he has a $500 deductible on his policy. He told me he told that dingbat that she doesn't have an f'n clue what is going on!
Ha ha yeah thats funny, the one we are starting tomorrows a for sure tear down. Foundations shattered, walls buckled etc.... Gonna be a big big $! Give the new mini a work out! Incredible damage all along there eh Dave? Did you like all those pines with the tops blown out on coopers falls road? Insane! I will get a pic of that tomorrow! My assistants liked Graydons guys Hair and beard! lol My girls thought that was a wig! Talking about it on our way home!

Slayed a pretty big dead cottonwood. It was for a church, so I gave them a break. Had a huge LZ, so I went big. Was going to dump it at the leaders, but the wind was blowing in the exact direction that I didn't want it too and it was gusting pretty good, so I went up a little higher. Fun tho, don't get to go too big very much. Thing had to be about 100', but very little brush. In and out in 4 hours. Laid the trunk over, cut it into 4 pieces and loaded it out. Everything was fine until I sent the boys to dump, they call and the battery is dead on the dump trailer, the booster we carry is also dead aaaaannnnnnnnnd they got a big aas log wedged tight into the trailer. FML! Had to go rescue them!
Pastor comes out, thanks me and then tells me he had big green bid it. They told him 2 days and 2300.00. I got a G for it and was completely done (dump fiasco) in 5 hours. 2 days huh!
