Iv been doing this big a## sycamore for the fire Captain up in mount baldy for years, but haven't climbed it in three years. It's huge. Normally we'll have three or four climber up there. The tree is infested with mistletoe. Lots of it is way out on the ends, and in the tip top. The tree has a weird shape from being topped many years ago. The branches growing from the old topping cuts are now 18in and 40 ft above them old cutsView attachment 289777View attachment 289778View attachment 289779 anyway today me and one other climber did the mistletoe removal. I did most of it by my self in about 5 hours using SRT. I not as fast as I was 3 years ago but the SRT made me shine in that tree and I was able to do what took 4 climber a long day to do in less time by my self today(OK me and one scared climber) I'm not patting my self on the back, I'm giving credit to the SRT Baby!
Wish I did take more pics but I was just trying to get it done.
was that you in the tree ? Here that baby will only fetch 800.00 hardly worth using the crane unless you own it!
I did?
That's treemandan. I am not in the shape anymore for such a big tree. I charged $3500 for tree, stump, and reseeding. Sold the logs for about $500. He is a good customer of mine, so I gave it to him at great price. Should have been $500 - $1000 more.
Took a bucket truck over to the kid's school for a kindergarten career day thing. Let the kids bounce around in the cab for a bit, heard 13 "my daddy has a chainsaw" stories. Had a great time, my little girl was excited I was able to make it in.
Went to the eye doc, seeing my doctor in a bit about my back. Leaning towards going to the back cracker. Got a lot of hard work ahead of me, time to get out of the bad habits and start taking care of myself.
Of course, I took the day off a few weeks back, and tomorrows forecast isn't looking good, we'll probably have the day off.
Don't go ..... There's a reason they are so cheap , because once you start you gotta keep going

Ya did mate, but no matter, i see there's more now.
Looked like a big wobbly one. Probably worse stood underneath than when you actually got up there!
Today we have a big old fir to smoke. I'd have thought nothing of taking your tulip down Dan, but I feel bad that we're gonna kill this fir today. Not cool
I gave Jared's client my business card and said that I would have charged 6k.
There is no way I can believe that tree is worth 800 in Ourcansass.
Well It probably would go for less the one I did out the roof had a 800.00 bid on it too then one just a bit higher than mine! Too many illegals and hillbillies here bro lol.
If I had to cut that tree down for 800 I will say I would change professions ... I mean I feel sorry for you man

I really did tell the client I would have charge 6k. Man, the risk is great! I even told Jared I had to beat him over the head for extra money. The crane guy was a little shook up, he is used to lifting building materials. He don't like doing trees but like me, Jared sweet-talks him saying, " its easy!" and " all ya gotta do is..." or "We'll have it done by noon." Man, I am such an ####### to listen to that guy.
