Nice work!! Was that sucker growing like that or was the lean the result of wind? That is a real pain roping stuff down to a roof top then working it off the roof.
Thanks guys.
It grew like that; there used to be a group of trees growing on the other side, shading it - hence the lean, but they died and were removed last fall. The one to the left was also taken down. The one growing through the shed is pretty bad too, will probably be brown by fall, but the owner is going to try and save it.
Was a bit of a pain, but the whole thing only took about an hour and a half. Roped the larger limbs and threw the small ones. The wood was already dried and light, so the blocks were easy to place.

Good pics. Good job.
In the first pic I can see a guy on the roof to the left and the top of a boom of some description??

Good eye Ekka! As I roped the larger branches down they were untied and thrown into a dump truck. The boom only had a total reach of about 50' and couldn't be used, as the tree was about 75' and he couldn't get close enough. I did pass a few bottom limbs to a guy in the bucket, but it was faster to just use a rope. The bucket was supported by four cables and not meant for tree work. This was my cousin's place and he is a roofer, so he brought the boom and dump from work just in case. We also burned a lot of debris.
