Err, my ears were perking there fer a minute....glad to know I wasn't being talked about behind me back...
Anyhow, welcome to all ya ASite newbies, aspiring business owners, and learning fellers. (fellows? Err, sounds that way, but where o where are the climbing wenches?)
Hey Rock, whatsa matta....these guys too nice to lay into?
Dang I'm in a good mood! First we craned out 2800 board feet of big fir sticks that had been waiting. Then we craned the rest of a good sized elm. Then we did about 50 alders....in 13-14 picks!!!! Wish I could got pics, but it was raining cats and dogs all day..and the camera was at home. Gotta say it was cool craning 4 trees at a time....even if the biggest were 11-12 inch dbh and 50 feet or less in height.
And we did it all with the 17 ton boom truck, two guys were late, and we were done before 5 pm.....about $2500 after crane fees plus log sales, maybe $800.
Tomorrow we do two firs to really fill up the log truck load.
Here a pic from January, felling an 1200 board foot 65 foot fir stick right alongside a house....just another tite squeeze.....cool, but Janet Jackson has o so much to squeeze.....
