    Opps!

    Money is how we keep score ... Because I want you to know that I make 5 ~ 10 times more than you do Jeff, as a wage slave. If you had any grit at all you'd be running your own business not being a lackey for somebody else's business. I climb trees very day, when is the last time you did that...

    Opps!

    Par for the course, of course ... Watch out Matt, I got banned last time for complaining about the moderation on this site. some here are pretty casual with slanderous comments and LXT as a former law enforcement official (so he says) should be aware of laws pertaining to same., as well as the...

    Thank you for the kind words ... Right, I try to ignore most and have all but given up on this site, but I come back from time to time just because I won't be bullied, in person or online. I'm just not that good at the Christian tradition of turning the other cheek. I suppose it's one of my...

    No much help here ... She was shook up pretty bad, but considering what could have happened, both to her and passers by, it was dodging the bullet. As to the "razzing" I think you know it goes much further than that here. A certain element of bullies and thugs has taken over this site and have...

    Here's proof of my comment about this site ... I don't need any attention from the likes of you or any of the other scabs that post here. Nattering nabobs of negativity are the majority here (bonus points for anyone who can attribute that quote) and if I irritate you then you know who you are.

    She had quite a ride ... Thanks Zale, Pelorus, and you too Rope. She just lost her Father in May and we both think somebody up there was looking out for her. If was somewhat of a freak accident, while turning around in a friend's driveway not half a mile from home she went down an...

    It's a cold crew here 101 .. Thanks 101 for the sentiment. She was very lucky, many don't survive such a rollover. Three small spinal fractures, sore shoulder (possible rotator cuff injury) and numerous bruises from being battered around. As to this forum, mostly low class morons as far...

    Now that would have made me mad ... The insurance would have covered that too, but I wouldn't have been very happy about it. Coughing up $4k to move up to the Trailblazer was bad enough.

    Look it up? All I had to do was look up ... The limbs were structurally compromised and presented a clear and present danger to the home. One had already failed, and was hung up in the one below it. Getting them off the tree was the right thing to do. I refused a full trim of the tree...

    Worked on my Birthday yesterday ... I hit 65 yesterday. I celebrated by working and made a couple grand for taking down two condemned (by the city) trees and taking a couple of big limbs off a massive Oak that was over the home. My wife totaled my Colorado last week, managing to roll it three...

    It doesn't get any better than this ... The Jeep part of it is older than me. The title alone is worth more than I paid for it. Even with hauling from Indianapolis I've got less than a grand in it. The rolling chassis is a '73 K5 blazer with about two feet cut out of it and all the correct...

    My new Jeep I just bought this Jeep, a '46 CJ2A on the title but it is on a Chevy K5 frame shortened to fit. No engine in it but I'm planning to put a 454 in my dump truck and put the 350 that's in there now into the jeep. I may have another 454 that could go in it too. Would that be too much...

    What it is ... Planera aquatica , similar to and related to Siberian Elm. Here is a shot I took of the leaf structure, judge for yourself which of course is what I did: What has been made clear is that I am being singled out for abuse and limited as to where I can post my videos. I've seen...

    Lucky

    It can byte you ... I had a similar close call with a big limb off the Water Elm I took down last week. Even though I did undercut the limb it broke badly and hung long enough for the tops to push it off the stub at me. Fortunately I had a high TIP that allowed me to swing back out of the way...

    My 1000th Post! The Elm(?) only took two and a half days, not 3.5 as I had allotted. Here is a photo of the leaf structure so ID should be easy now: Day one was just to get a start on the free, dropping the easy stuff and most importantly an in-tree inspection as to it's structural...

    Buried a Father and a Friend today ... That saw has already made about a 20' drop onto a cement sidewalk and never stopped running. My 200T has survived two 30' drops and I threw my beater 192T out of the tree when it failed to start in three pulls so I figure a little toss onto the turf...

    Obvious solution for a bottle jack and before I bought my "racing" low profile jack that's what I used to do. I find that the floor jack works better and I don't have to keep track of extra parts. Here is the video where I use my floor jack to crank a big leaner where I need it to go...

    Using a bottle jack works, but the floor jack has a much larger top plate so it doesn't just sink into the wood. Also you don't have to cut as big a slot in the tree to insert it, mine is a low profile aluminum "racing" jack, so it's actually quite light to carry around.

    No way to get anything bigger than the Steiner in there, even that only makes it if we saw off the plastic drain pipe going into the ground. If anybody could get a bucket or crane close enough to reach I'd have had to bid half as much to get the job. Most tree services here are bucket queen...

    Steiner rules ... Nice thing is that it will go anywhere, I just got a grinding job (along with four takedowns) that no one else could get their stumper to. I ground out a small Pear stump for Matt after dragging the the thing through the backyards of the condo it was behind the same day...
