How long is your lanyard?

Keep those hangers cleared out, that could injure someone if it falls out and hits them.

Looks like a nice job Yelton. :msp_thumbup:

Removal or prune job ?
We have a lot of conifers around here with bent/broken branches like that. Happened in a ice/snow storm we had 2 years ago last Christmas.
You can ignore Clueless Carbs advice. It is pretty obvious he has never worked a Hemlock. Most of the time you have to tie a rope on them, and PULL those cut branches out to get them down.

Removal I hope with them spikes on.

 

[VA-Sawyer]

That is why I was asking. Didn't want to jump on his case if it was a removal.

You need to stop slandering my posts bud.

Anyway,

Let's hope you're right about having to tie a rope to hangers and pulling them down. Maybe no one will get killed by the one that falls on it's own.

 

[VA-Sawyer]

Clueless,

When you stop giving bad advice, I will get off your case. But not one minute before then.
Is that simple enough for you ?

I'm with ya there Rick.

Have you lost your mind?!

Telling someone to clear their hangers is not bad advice!

If you, or anyone else for that matter ever back talked me when I told them to clear a hanger they'd be coming out of the tree and going home.

I don't care how long you've been doing tree work, or how good you think you are, you'd leave my job site the first time you ever said something like that to me. I won't let your ego get someone else killed or injured.

Understood?

And so we have another AA...

 

[VA-Sawyer]

Like I said, it is clear that you haven't worked Hemlock. The branches act like they are covered in velcro. Unlike Yellow pine where the branches will slide out fairly easy, Hemlocks often requires a ROPE to pull them out. Second point.... how do you know that he didn't just cut that branch and was reaching for it 2 seconds after the photo was taken? Third point.... don't you see all the 'likes' on posts where you get slammed? Clueless is as Clueless does.

Does this AA guy even exist or is he just someone you made up that you can compare people to?:msp_unsure:

Rick; When are you going to stop being a crack head?

Really man, a Forest Gump line?

 

[VA-Sawyer]

Like I told you before Clueless ..... Do some reading! He was real.

Rick

I have it on DVD, but honestly dude, I don't think Forest Gump is real. :hmm3grin2orange:

But I'll start calling you Little Ricky Gump if it makes you feel better.

 

[VA-Sawyer]

Clueless,
I'll type this real slow so you can keep up reading it. When I said the guy was real, I was talking about AA.
Also I didn't quote Forest Gump...quote means to repeat exactly........ I paraphrased the line. I know that will go way over your head, so I won't waste time trying to explain what it means right now. Maybe when you start showing me third grade intelligence, I will try to explain it.
Ask for calling me Gump, have fun, I wish I had his kind of money and luck. ( Gump or Hanks ) Plus, even Gump sounds about 10 times smarter than you, so fire away.
Anyways, you still don't get that you are just an unwanted noise around here despite so many folks telling you and even getting banned. Even Gump would have that figured out by now!

Oh, you were talking about AA.

Sorry, my bad.
