And if that’s the case, maybe the powers that be here at AS might wanna reconsider supporting this type of illegal child labor exploitation. Just thinking out load here. Sounds like he’s tackling some pretty serious jobs for a 13 year old virgin. I’d just hate to see the forum get in trouble if anything should go south and the authorities find AS complicit in encouraging this type of child exploitation, just saying.

But, of course,, all are welcomed here!!

Lol. Mine was ***** and fast cars and climbing trees like an animal 60 hours a week. But I realize you’re a new school internet fantasy tree guy lol.

 

[ZinTrees]

internet fantasy tree guy lol.

never seen you do a crane job, never seen you do a tree you couldnt use your lift on, never seen you work with limited resources
it looks to me like you will walk away from any job that cant use a potty lift, bucket, grapple truck, chip truck, giant, 72 ground guys, and a helicopter
we do the jobs nobody else will, like this crane job, only one guy even showed up, he took one look and left, we are the only ones around here willing to do it

 

[ZinTrees]

its been 8 minutes, you done crying yet?

 

[tree MDS]

That’s because I’ve already been there and done that, Goobs. I don’t have limited resources anymore. I have relatively vast resources that I’ve paid well and invested in..

Not sure what your point is really? This is the reason you need to go to 101. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants you here anyway. Get it through your thick, home schooled, pimply virgin head!!!! Omg,,

 

[tree MDS]

Just remember, don’t touch the meat slicer or the tittles!! Lol

 

[pdqdl]

That


I’m sorry, but back up the train fir a second here… isn’t it illegal for someone this kids age to be doing anything other than holding a rake on a tree job - and that’s one with no equipment. At least that’s the way it works in CT. Let’s not even talk about Zit working in a meat packing plant or even running a slicer at the local deli LOL. Just keeping it real.

I believe child labor laws prevent an employer from endangering the youngsters, but I don't think there are any rules against them doing it on their own.

What if the creepy Manson lookin father is the employer (technically)?

Have your correct paperwork in order if you’re gonna be tied into the crane with the pick. Not sure it does any good if things go pear shaped but looks good I guess. In 26 years of tree work I’ve only ever come across one job where a climber had to “ride” the pick. Never want to do one again either. Both the other crane op and I could’ve pressed diamonds out of coal the whole time. Two cranes working on the same tree is stressful enough without someone attached to the load.
Also I’d like to see pics of this tree

gonna ride the small stuff till I can get a spot on the roof to rappel to after the cut
wont be riding anything over 30% capacity for the crane, tied in above the ball, once we are on bigger stuff I will rappel to the roof, pull my line off the crane, and be 100% free of the crane while he sets the wood down, once we are on the spar and free from the house I will most likely just spike the stem

Okay, Stud. Just don’t forget to meet Ms Hoggy Bell for graham crackers and Hi-C in the church basement after home schoolin. Lol

Working for family also has exceptions to the child labor laws. Farmers are infamous for putting 12 year olds in 300hp tractors and letting them work all day. Sometimes that kid is better than the hired hands, too. Sometimes they make a fatal mistake with a machine they should never have been on, too.
Still... there are exceptions when the kids are working for family. I haven't read them for a long time, and they may have changed.

My dad put me on a D8 bulldozer, towing a cable-operated earth mover when I was just 14. I didn't do too good at it, as I couldn't back the damn thing up on a slope. He did give me at least a 30 minute lesson before turning me loose on it.

Come to think of it, apart from some mower decks behind farm tractors, that was the first trailer I ever towed. I got kinda bound up on a hill and parked it. At least I didn't break anything. I did have to walk back to the office about 1/4 mile and admit my defeat on the machine, however.

I even drove down to the local "pre-release" prison and contacted their people: never heard a peep.
Also the biggest (privately owned) halfway house in the metro area. Same story, never heard from them again, either.

Apparently, grounds maintenance of any sort is unworthy work for felons.

Well, if I’ve learned anything from watching Shawshank Redemption is that you need to give the warden some kickbacks.

Graham crackers and Hi-C sounds pretty good actually. Yes, yes it does...
