Lets get this party started...

I woulda liked to cut that first low limb off, but that wasn't what I was there for. I barely even broke a sweat, it was so cool out!

Check out my fancy climbing hitch!

MB there the sort of jobs i love..jobs like them are what i love about arboriculture

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's nice not having to wear spurs for a change.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

MB when you say you were making the trees safe what exactly did you do to them ..what was the job discription??..i saw from your pic a nice healthy bow removed..but then again all i saw was a pic no offence intended

 

[MasterBlaster]

What's a healthy bow?

I just had to get the hangers and major dead outta whatever I found. I do that to several schools every year, before they open. Easy money, just send them the bill.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

healthy bough/branch ...but anyway you have now explained hangers and dead wood removal ...still nice work ,i wish i got a bit more like that ,i seem to get lots of TDs

 

[Derek]

I carnt quite make out the crain in there??must be there somewhere...im lookin hard...are you sure this is your job master?

orclimber check out some more pics on "footplates"
the lines are 330kv ... Way to close My approch limit is 6 meters
But I can tell you for free many times i've come within 2m, and have been knocked out of trees because of the "zaps"..

I have to leave 5years clearance to line. As long as i leave them below 30m they will be ok.. soon Derek

This is a pic of the Red Oak that we did today. My good friend and the guy that I work for Lyle Blum did the climbing. This Red Oak had the first limb at about 40 ft. It had a bad split roughly half way down. That is why the owner decided to remove the tree. The job went real smooth. We had four groundman.

He takes real good care of me in that department. He knows that good groundman/climbers that have a real passion for this work are hard to find. I work more for him than I do for myself.
