For sure, keep 'em coming! I'ld like to see an album of all the good pics at AS.

I guess I already do, cause I save most of them to a folder that I use as my screensaver.

Just resize 'em people, so they ain't too huge, eh?

Butch, the crane was kinda far from the tree,40 feet maybe. That guy would pic anything you wanted to cut. We no longer use them because they killed a guy, put him into a power line. They went to a basket deal???? I've never seen it in action.

I really hated to cut this huge water oak, but it was a job for the Dept. of Transportation. They needed to widen the road and put in a sidewalk.

#2 I don't know how to resize yet Butch.

RockyJ, do you remember this tree. It was across from the post office. You spotted it while driving up for the climb we had. The homeowner is a ??????? and waited untill it started putting holes in his roof before he called.

I only took the limbs off and left what you saw standing. It fell and flatend his house just a few months ago.

It was a tricky tree because it was so dead. Note where the sling is.Lots of FLOP.

 

[monkeypuzzle]

Last one.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That last pic MP, was the sling in the right place?

It looks like the makings of a hard flip.

Butch, it WAS in the wrong place, they all were in the wrong place.That tree was in very bad shape and we decided that was the best place for sling placment. I was not a happy camper. It was right next to the house and a few of the limbs I had to cut,hold and chunck while hanging from the ball,small firewood size.


I will try and get by there this week Brian and take a pic of the Magnolia tree in the front yard of same yard. You will understand what kind of man I had to deal with. Ladder cut about 15' up, no under cut, barber chair city, and took out the fence.The limb is still connected to the tree.

All the pictures have been fun to see but I think Craig has repeatedly shown what everyone here should be shooting for as far as professional appearence is concerned, great workmanship too.
He's the best arborist here, hands down.

This ain't a contest, Mike.

But thanks for your opinion.

We love to hear 'em.

 

[SilverBlue]

I for one won't judge who is the best just by posting on this forum, it would have to be in person. I find it cool how Craig is able to ride the ball to the top by biting on the hook though Way to go Craig!
