Crappy pic, but I am in there, somewhere!

Not crappy pic; crappy post-processing.  Hit it with "-gamma 1.6" and "-sharpen 0x1", then use xpaint on it:

wisht i had a camera for this tulip tree...alas no action shots..here is one of the butt sections...sorry it's partially obscured. this tree was 17'3" in circumference at breast height and no more than 75 years old. we picked it apart with a crane in about 10 picks...last lift was just over 25000lbs. one of my larger removals to date.

Clean up went fast with FOUR chippers!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Maybe, but look how far they had to drag it!

 

[Gord]

The support line used w/ the Grcs, used this to lift the tree off of the house.

Nice work, TJ. I HATE having to do a job like that without the benefit of a good 'ole crane. But sometimes a crane just can't get to it.

Here's a nice water oak ($6000+) I played with yesterday.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Somebody shoulda filled this with concrete YEARS ago!

 

[MasterBlaster]

A 17 ton was needed to set the pads for this bad motor scooter...

 

[MasterBlaster]

We can't ride the ball anymore.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It looks like I'm in a bad position, but I'm really not. I had to get this farthest back lead twisted around so everything would go smooth.

Off to the next one!
