can't tell from the pic, you tied in up there?

No, but I probably should have. Not much to tie into except for the log itself, and I didn't really want to be attached to that in case it moved. I could only chunk off a few pieces at the end before I was over the lower roof. I then set up staging on the lower roof and worked the trunk back to the main roof....PITA! I could have plucked the whole thing off the roof with a crane but didn't have one available a the time and the owners probably wouldn't have wanted to pay for that either.

Not to be an armchair arborist, but from the pics I would have set up a speedline from one of the trees in the back to my tractor where the camera is. Cut the overhang that you are sitting on one piece at a time and send it down the zipline on a sling (don't hit the tractor,lol). Then cut and throw the stuff on the roof. Just exercising my brain, not criticizing how it was done :smile2:.

I know, bad line angle. I tied to the top of the only tree around so that's the best I could do. I also tied to the lift line itself with my lanyard. Those are $15,000 fiber optic cables under the tree so I had to be damn sure not to break or cut them!

the other top blew out during a storm and broke a septic tank lid, smashed the lid on a propane tank and went into the eave of a home, i worked the ground and come alongs and we took down a few around the house. these trees basically blew you over with wind when they hit the ground.. this ladys boyfreind went and bought a new 361 and alaska mill and milled all the wood in about 3 months
