Ash only.

Ed

Thanks Ed.

So I wonder what happens to the eab when All the Ash are gone?? Would it just fade away or would it learn to choke down/adapt to eating other trees??

Sorry dan, not to derail. That niehborhood is a TD bonanza in the works, good firewood too.

Another thing dan, I just realized you never repped me once you cheap F#@$ - I want mine back! Is that possible I wonder??

I was just thinking about the same thing. I would but The Dan has his reservations.

My apologies to all, I will get on it. The Dan says he wants to see some pics first though.

 

[treemandan]

Quite a few removal candidates there.........

Ed

Even the cabled one?

I put 28 on this one

Pretty healthy oak, the lady wants it down. I don't blame her but it could stay, it would still be work and money to keep it.No body has done the job yet but I think i could do it for a little less. Whether to crane or rope is still unanswered, I could do either. Its ironic that the only tree anybody around wants to TD is the best looking one

i do do a lot of work in my neighborhood but not all of it. There are many tree guys in here, the last guys seemed to have a hard time but I am not sure of all they did.

 

[treemandan]

I guess I should post the rest of it

there could be good arguements whether or not to TD this one but she wanted it gone. I told her it didn't look to bad.
I also told another (older lady) that the tree she wanted down was fine, to save her widow's pension and maybe take a look at the nasty stuff over her house.
Someone came and TD'd the good one and left all the tall, stringy, codom ash trees instead. The one she wanted down was an ash but it was not really that lousy with codom and only had one main trunk, it was quite low and not the spread out, it was pretty sturdy. A nice tree actually.

Even the cabled one?

Yup.

From the pics I will agree that there are "severe targets".

Hard to tell but it appears there is damage to the lower right stem, just below the cut-off branch? Trunk rotting inside?

Oh yeah, that to. It was hard to tell with so much going on back there. These people just want a band-aid, we are all used to having no power back here. There are some high tension and you saw the limbs that fell and stuck in the ground? Well, those guys take the family and sit back there.

Ash can be a tough tree to maintain, not the easiest to rope climb.

 

[treemandan]

Jeff? Buddy? whard ya go? come back, have a seat, you know where. On The Dan's lap!


Just playing amigo. No, I don't play all the time.

 

[tree MDS]

That Oak dont look like no crane tree dan. Not unless that lower leader on the left is like 30" or something.

What are ya gettin old or something??

Couple of saturdays ago me and the weekend boys took down a 90'+ Spruce in front of my maggot next door niehbors tree shop. we had it down by 3:30. He told the guy he needed a crane. lol.

That was a good day.

On my phone at work still, ride home from the job. Keep your pants on Dan-o!

You 'might' be able to get away with one properly set cable in that ash, but it really deserves 2. You don't need anything fancy for cabling. You could set eye bolts with a decent 18v cordless and the right bit. Unless it's a real monster, I can usually achieve proper tension double crotched into the two leads/limbs I'm cabling and using my ropes and body weight to create some slack.

You can set the end wraps of a dead end by hand. It's easier if you still have slack in the cable when you put the lastfew wraps on. I don't see any reason you can't do it properly, but removal is certainly a viable option, and so is just walking away for liability reasons.

Nothin' but love!

Jesus dude, you are on the phone at work doing this chit? What are you nuts? I am sitting on my ass, cause I have nothing better to do right now, and you are out in the field spending your time talking to me? man you kids got it good.


I am talking about the part of the dead-end up the the eye. There is paint there and I thought you had to get that to twist also. I will go snag one for demo later.

 

[Rickytree]

Hey TreeManDan! Would you send some Rep's to Treemds before he gets nasty! You owe me MDS! Joking I don't even know what that means? Anyways I have to go look at that dirty crotch that was posted earlier, Thanks Dan!!

Is it the first twist by the thimble you're talking about Dan? It is supposed to be tight around the thimble. Is the thimble loose?
