Stumper
One Man Band
Had a removal today-fairly large declining Siberian Elm. Had a tight crotch between 2 main leaders which immediately seperated into multiple large branches. There wasn't much bark ridging but because of the possibility of included bark/weak union I double roped things so that the back leader would not be able to seperate and clobber the mobile home (I also took a bunch of weight off that side). Made my notch and dropped it dead bang on target (don't you just love that
). When she hit, the trunk split (it had about 5 inches of wood on each side)and dropped the back leader through the center of the canopy and....... A fuel pump fell out. I assumed that the decline was cause by construction damage (gravel driveways on both sides were added a few years ago) I never suspected a bad fuel pump!
The discerning Ford and Dodge fans will probably not be shocked to learn that Siberian Elms use Chevy parts.
