Called To give a Bid on this today

[ForTheArborist]

You could guarantee you get this one, and make a really good profit on this. That is if you can manage to rent the right equipment.

Get a big enough boat, tie up to the back of that, hit the throttle, and pull that thing from the house. You might be able to hit the ground at an angle to keep more of the tree out of the water.

The thing is what structures are between the house and the lake? How do you guys feel about fishing out the debris from the water? It floats. With some extended picks, you could manage that. They do that on rivers all the time. Just weld up some pipes and picks, or use some dowel rods for the light weights.

Now if you can manage that boat for the two hours you need it for, (just make it worth the owner's time for showing off what is stud barge can do:bringit you can be sure to be the most note worthy bidder on the job, and you will be able to save tons of man hours. Big company score if you asked me.opcorn:

Mic 687. Good luck with your bid. And work safe. Worse than a tree near the house is a house built around a tree. This tree grew from the first floor (next to the pool), up past the spiral staircase, then through the roof. Stills are from video shot in '01.

StihlRockin', you just have to watch a lot of documentary shows on the History Channel, Science Channel, and National Geo. Chan.

TreeTom, WTH! That is a wild man's house. It's neat though. How much did you guys ring the owners for?

Can't recall the price, but we did receive local television and newspaper coverage. This eccentric fellow had actually built his house on the side of a dune in Grand Haven, MI, around two oak trees, both of which died.

Any chance we can see that video, tom? Looks like a fun job!

Some people in this world can't even tie their shoes without falling over. Pity. I guess this means the edge is closer than we all think sometimes.

Some are going to see it in their minds and do it without failure, and some can only handle the script that was thought up for them by someone else. Some won't even do that successfully for instance my grandmother could never zip the branches down without falling through the roof her and her branches too.

It is how I win a lot in competition. It's also how I accomplish most everything in my life. It's not fate, but a predetermination in my mind's eye on how things will come about.

...some can only handle the script that was thought up for them by someone else.

Interesting. I think about that a lot. My lot in life came faster when I started living my own life and not what my parents or what I had thought society expected of me. Being and learning to be my own person and doing what I wanted to do was an "Uh Ha!" moment for me.

Blakesmaster, On one of those long cold Winter days that will be with us shortly in Michigan, I'll make a point of putting a video together of the "treehouse." Thanks for your interest.

Oh. Well, I think the next step is to let our community utilize those aptitudes, and take their rewards that they compensate us with for doing what they have no capacity to do themselves. Of course we do that, right? Do we take on enough and big enough challenges to really make a mark with what we've got while we've got it? Some do. I think it is damn near vital to leave a mark for descendent generations in the family, or at least try hard too. We won't have this thing forever though.

Heh, we're way off subject now.

wait for the lake to freeze (you are in michigan after all) and put a truck on the ice (with chains) to pull it over. better yet anchor somthing that will freeze into the ice. then you will have work durring the slow season and it will be a simple notch-backcut-pull operation.

just dont take a triaxle log truck out on the ice like the idiot out here in maine did two winters ago. and if you do, dont try to put an excavator next to it to lift in out, like he did. BTW it took three skidders parked on shore to extract the sunk machines.
