whadja do today?

[dbl612]

I get it. I'm a hack. Tongs have no place on a crane. I'm sowwy.

you also said you don't use them over a house or something valuable, but you're hoisting with them and your guy is right there. i guess people aren't valuable.

Speedlined dead elm (tree to left of boathouse with white door) onto lake yesterday.
Winter still hanging on.
(edit: please excuse derail of crane tong hoisting session)

 

[dbl612]

Well why not just be a ******* today, i mean you could say- hay man you know i think this or that about the way you do things but to just call his work ******** is just being a ass. ----But I see Blakesmaster likes it

antbody that doesn't even know how to terminate a cable needs training on the basics. this is how accidents happen. and yes i'm an ass when people post stupid ****.

 

[gorman]

I haven't the foggiest of how to terminate a cable. But I don't own a crane. Yo dbl612, where do you get your buckets inspected? I got my first a year ago and it was up to date on the reg but I want to keep on it. It's an altec lrV

 

[jefflovstrom]

Altec has authorized mobile guy's. Call and see who services your area. Altec here is almost 2 hours away, but their mobile guy is in my area.
Once a year inspection takes about 5 hours at a cost of about $900.00

Another beauty. Arrr....

 

[gorman]

does that 900 bucks come with a back rub?

 

[jefflovstrom]

Did you break the hand rail on the stairs or was that already broken?

Sharp eye didn't see that, looks intact in the first pic

 

[treecutterjr]

Very Sharp! Yep about halfway through, cut a stub off and just let it fall right on the top rail.

Homeowner said deck is rotted, just take the whole rail off.

 

[Zale]

Honesty, a very good trait. If thats all that went wrong on the job, its a good day.

I love " one cuts" also. I'm also glad to see more people out to rid us of them damn Bradford pears.

I hear that we trim a lot of em and that's 98 percent of our storm cleanup **** is abnormally heavy

I was...the weather here is super great today. But then I moved the wrong way somehow now my back is acting up again for the probably 1,300th time. Then a customer calls with a bunch of nonsense about scheduling...wanting to move a week long job up by ten days. No way I can do that.
