Another Leaner

[tsouz007]

Last time I asked about a leaner I got a lot of good advice ... the only problem was he HO neighbor saw me take it down and wants me to remove one for him too.

I'm attaching a couple pics. It's a very rotten pine. In the one pic you can see the dead tree leaning against a branch one the other and the branch has curved around the leaner. The leaner is very rotten and I'm planing on notching it and pulling it away from the tree it is leaning on in the opposite direction it is leaning. It's very light (dead pine) and I could move it a little just by pushing at the base.

Also wondering what I should charge for this? I'm just dropping and bucking it and the HO will get rid of it.

the problem with dead pine is your holding wood may not hold, can you go up the other side of the live tree being leaned on then blow the top out of dead tree and let it bomb the way its leaning,

I'd run up there, hang it from the live pine, then cut it off the stump. Lower off the portawrap and cut it in sections as you lower it. We would charge about 200 for that job.
