Ropensaddle's project pine growing out of roof

[ropensaddle]

TODAY!

Oops, I seen ya posted them. Well did you get it all down. It was hot today.

No I got a late start had to run some errands but took it from 90 foot to here 3" at a time lol I had bad heat cramps could have got it to roof but arms and shoulders kept locking up I am trying to get done but this heat is killer.

That saw dust is three inch thick on roof forgot blower oh well :newbie: Will have his work cut out in the mourning and I will continue bombing and hopefully be done with this rascal lol.

yes it was, hard to keep going without the gatorade. you ever try drinking it. it stops me from cramping up when it's so hot and you sweat more than you're intake of water.

Yeah sometimes drink it but lots of water for sure I guzzled water and no pee all day.

lowering block on adjustable tenex sling with another tag line hooked to winch or truck would of saved you a lot of time bud. i can see handling the wood atr 3fters when you are 10ft above the roof, but everything above that could of been blocked and tag lined out in 10ft sections. would of required more than one ground guy though.

looks like a fun tree! good luck to morrow!

Did I tell you I don't care for big sections? I would rather work a little harder than get a friggin broke leg and yes I have done what your saying many ,many times and now don't, that can either tell you something or not. I have to support my family, time spent in recovery is not my idea of supporting them.PS; I did think about doing it though, briefly however just me and the wife today

Looks like your down to the worst part as far as the trunk goes.
Seems like you have to shove the logs horizontally for another 10-12 ft.

Is it a good solid roof you and groundie can walk on with logs on shoulders ,once you det down to that point?
Some roofs can be deceiving:have nice looking shingles but be very weak uderneath.
I had a groundy step thru a roof one time.
I learned a good lesson from it.



Roofers make pretty good money too.

I know it happens all the time but I just have to say it. What kind of idiot builds their porch around a tree like that. Now the dip#### has to spend $2500 on tree removal and another $1000 to fix his porch.

Good work Rope I do not envy you on this job at all.

I think it is cool. As long as the tree is living and healthy you have something that very few people have.

If it dies we get paid to safely remove them. I don't see what's not to like.

They are fairly common around here. Mostly decks with a hole in the middle for the tree. I've gotten jobs to enlarge the opening to give the tree more room to grow.

The one job I did think was a little out there was the one where they built a fifteen foot wide deck that was sixty feet long. In holes in the deck they had three 12' tall Redwood trees planted. Each tree had the bottom 4' of branches removed to clear the deck. In ten years their dream deck is going to be taken over by those trees.

Mr. HE

A deck I can kind of understand. Decks are basically semi permanent. House or porch for that matter are meant to be permanent. You could expect a deck to have to be replaced at some point. On the same token you would hope your house, including your covered porch would last forever. Getting paid to take them out is cool I will agree with you there.

Guys back home to unload then back to finish I am to the hole already and most of the blocks from yesterday loaded going to be close to finishing tonight may have a little make it pretty stuff left but hope fully done. Some hack made the newspaper tried to fell a large tree knocked power line down onto a car the transformer was in the back glass. The story said he was a tree care specialist lol he was arrested, he fled the scene and came back they are charging him with a felony. They said he was charging 250.00 to take the tree down seems you get what you pay for ehhhhhhh?

 

[Hddnis]

That's a heck of a job. In the one pic, I thought that doesn't look too bad, but then one of the other pics put it into perspective. That doesn't look fun at all but it will be great pics to put into a job refrence type book. Talk about zero tolerance for mishaps. I hear ya on the cramping. I've tried bananas, energy drinks, etc, and they help, but after awhile my legs, forearms, and especially my hands cramp up big time. Hope you got the rest down safely, good job and nice pics.

daaaayum,found a link with pic of car and transformer
IMO an accident can happen to anybody ,pro or hack,but to leave a scene like that is both unprofessional,and cowardice.

I don't know you Rope, but my hat is off to you. You got a job, (tough job), and you made a job plan knowing your dislikes (rigging big ) and the non available access with big equiptment, newbies and etc..., You planned it and did it and most of all, you stuck it out. I would have done it the same way only because I would know what I could do and plan the job with that. Good job Rope.
