Day 4 of storm work from yesterday, this wasn't a massive Sugar maple by any means, but the slope of the roof was very steep, large kitchen window right under the one part, couldn't get a crane in, and the neighboring trees weren't the biggest (if your wondering why the block in the one tree wasn't supper high) View attachment 227662View attachment 227663View attachment 227664View attachment 227665View attachment 227666

I had myself and one of my other guys climbing, tied into 2 different trees. The owner just moved in a month ago, this was an insurance job. Owner wants us to come back and take out everything along the side of the house, and 2 big Ash trees in the backyard! Plus another guy was driving by, saw all my trucks, was watching us for a bit, then asked us to remove 2 big arse Ash trees in his front yard! Great start to March!

Nice. How high is that chip box now and what's the length?

thanks. it's 14 ft at the longest part before it jogs up the tool box and just a little over 10 ft tall. Now I just realized I have to fab the gate up higher..

I worked from yesterday at 1500 until around 0900 this morning, helping my wife give birth to our first child (Joseph Allen Courtier). We did a natural birth (planned on not doing a spinal block, but were planning on doing a narcotic pain killer). Basically, the times weren't right to get in a dose of pain meds once the labor set in. So, we went natural! Joseph was born at 0527 this morning, at 7lbs 3oz and 19 1/4" long. The delivery was picture perfect, and everyone is recovering great! He came ~1.5 weeks early, but was definitely ready to enter the world!

This seriously made me consider my practices in this job field. I am already extremely safe, but really puts things into perspective now that I not only have to provide for my wife, but also for a child. Really making me put even more thought than normal into being methodical and doing things with an even more serious demeaner. I have always taken pride in our judgement thus far, and have yet to get hurt, hurt anyone else, or damage anything. But, gives me even more reason to prevent mistakes!

Pic will be posted when I can pry my wife's computer outta her hands. She is really bored right now.

Sold my stump grinder today. Got the bare steal primered up on the chip truck and its going in the morning to get a brake job, beefier springs installed in the rear and some other little odds and ends fixed. From there its going in for new paint and lettering. Then a couple estimates to do, lady wants a bunch of trees topped to get more light to her pool. Gonna have to talk her into a light crown reduction or removal, she says she doesn't want to lose the privacy but trees are blocking the sun to pool. Sounds like a complete removal and new planting to me :msp_thumbup:
