The Nati, Oh Hi, Yo
We got a call at 9 am with a big hack split at the base (probably from uprooting) and fell into a big ash (uprooting it too) and tore off the side of another ash and went into the house. In both uprooted holes that would have been around 3 feet deep they were full to the top with dirty water.

We have had torrential rain here for 2 solid days.

Pulled the tree off the house with the old crane and will finishing loading the wood tomorrow and chip.

Regular customer so nobody else bids and I don't even have to bid.

Just hate it when that happens. :biggrinbounce2:

We had the old crane nearby on another job so we could get it there quick.

We'll start using the new one this week and sell the old one.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

nice!

I went out with the crew yesterday, no bids to do, everybody is still in a tripofan coma!
Blasted a Norway maple over a pool, had to hand carry every piece out of the back yard to the front, no equipment would fit, SUCKED! So me and dad in law showed up for back up. Had to leave truck in yard, as we have to use the plywood road to get out, about 200yds! and we where wiped! A good day tho! then went to me geerage and sharpened chains till about 9pm. Missed Swamp Logger's, PO'ed about that, love that show!

Sold 9 FC of firewood. Completley out of Oak now, only 7-8 face of mix left. Dont matter cuz Im hoppin a plane for Germany at 4:50. I hope I get to see some tree work over there.

Sounds cool. What's the plan? you already have something set up?

I heard once that you need a permit to climb trees over there, and that they use the spider lifts a lot.. wondering if that's true?

I wont be doing tree work , just wanna watch. I read an article in TCI mag back in 04' that said climbing is illeagal there because there lifts are so advanced and that they declared it to be so dangerous. If theres a tree that you cant get a lift to, some certified so an so has to come out and asses the sit, and determine if it needs to be climbed and then some 'certifed' climber can do it.
