Like I said in earlier post....all day Sat. 17 man hours, pulling English ivy off this old home and Montessouri School. A reg client for tree work we couldn't get out of it, but no bid. The owner, a lawyer had tried to do it himself and fell off the ladder 2 times into the bushes below. His wife insisted we do it so "he didn;t have to get that big ladder out again lol.
Kyle had just cleaned the east side and I had finished the unseen west side. His side had dead vines the ho had killed earlier and my side were all alive. Pliars, prying tools, scraper, wrecker bar, wire brush etc all were no match as scraped knuckles were most the result. The live ones grab like crazy glue and they are all interwoven so if you pull just one it breaks off at the cross piece. :censored:
Sounds like a PITA. When we do PITA I tell the guys its not that bad it could be worse. Then we start talking about past PITA jobs and glad we are done with those. The only thing you can do is keep plucking away at it and have fun with it!
