Great quality picts and a cool site. There are one or two things I am curious about though. On your site,why did you need all the fancy rigging to get the wood to curbside? For fun? Seems like a time waster to me but I work trees full time. Did you tie off your speed line to a power pole? Not a very good idea in my book; not safe and you make yourself liable to unnecessary damage. On your pine removal, since you were using spurs, why leave so many stubs. I try not to leave anything that can hurt me later. Your systems are fun and save you work if not time but I find them unpractical for day to day use. A hand truck on level ground gets wood like that to the curb quicker. Sorry to gripe. Keep at it. :angel:
The yard was soft and recently landscaped (and mine!). We rolled the small ones, floated the big ones. And, yeah, the rigging was also fun, an experiment as much as anything. There weren't any time constraints so we played a little.
You are right on the power pole...I wondered if I should use it...but it was in the perfect place.
On the pine, the tree had a pretty good lean so nothing roped or dropped could get hung...probably about a 25 degree lean. If it had been vertical, I would have cut them flush.
Good observations...thanks for the feedback.
