this morning, 3 ASPLUNDH bucket trucks and 1 p/u truck lined my street... suddenly, i heard them incredibly close... i stepped out on the front porch and WOOPS! all the branches were off a tree in the yard across the street... even at the distance, it looked like they'd done sloppy work as i could see bark peeled off the trunk where it had ripped off as the limbs had been dropped... i stood and watched-- well, there was no need for neatness as they proceeded to take the entire tree down...
and i wait the tree owner's discovery later... a disturbance in the force will be experienced...
anway, why do they owe you thanks? 1. i didn't go near them, just watched from my porch (previous thread talked about idiot bystanders get too close);
2. i realized they were cutting around the electrical wires (public outcry after recent ice storm & prolonged power outage); and 3. i was able to just observe, without being a PITA...
fascinating watching them take care of the equipment: a man sharpening a blade after using it, the maneuvering of the bucket around the wires, the immediate collecting of equiment, storing it properly, etc... i know this is the ordinary for most of you here, but just fascinating to watch-- and due to the education here, had a general idea of what was going on...
