Brian cederkerf, outstanding I love the dismantle side myself! Sam great stuff like always love all the pics, well that goes for everyone too! Just got back from one of our hunting ranches. Two seperate pieces that used to be one. Combined its 550 acres we get to run it all. One side we do tree work for the older couple, and get to keep firewood too. We have grown fond of them, and do extra when we can. The other side is a church retreat, and they have never asked for a thing, only help manage the pigs. But we love to do that, and want to give back. I let them know we do tree work, when we first met about 2 years ago, and we were just called on by them to look at some work. They wanted to give us cash, and when I said no, we are happy they let us hunt, and want to help they were really touched. They are all great people, and we enjoy the work. Nothing to special or serious, takedown two smaller dead madrones. Limb up a pine over the house. Take out some acasias. And the most challengin, or interesting will be a valley live oak limb, to come out brush first over roof. The limb is about 12-16 inches around, and probably 40-60 feet long. Be using our porta wrap for the dismantle. I love all your pics, and stories my friends! P.S anybody know where to get a climb line over 18 feet, closer to 30 actually. Looking to get another of the self locking like we got from baileys before. Cedarkerf this one is for you. John 160 feet up. Then me with my 66 on a fir that is just shy of 6 feet through.

Nice pics Norm, sounds like you've got a great relationship going with the older couple, both helping each other out. That's the way to
do it. Great benefits for everyone by the way you tell it. :msp_thumbup: Coworker of mine has me looking at a tree to take down. Gonna
take a look at it tomorrow, sounds like it's a big maple between his and the neighbor's house? :dunno: I'll try to get some pics. :msp_thumbsup:
Work safe. ::thumbsup::

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Randy! Love to see the pics. Those Maples can be really beautiful trees.

Next job...?

Thanks Randy! Love to see the pics. Those Maples can be really beautiful trees.

Okay Norm have a look,:Eye::Eye: my co worker has a good size Silver Maple pretty close to his house. I'll be talking with him Monday
to find out what he wants done, as far as schedule and price. It'll be just me doing the take down, if he gives the go ahead. I've never
worked with Silver Maple, anyone know some of it's basic characteristics?:help:
Here's a look from the street.....

.....and here's a look from the back yard.....

.....looks like a "little bit" of work but I believe it's workable.

 

[Brian13]

Looks like it may have been topped. Be real careful in crotch selection.

Thanks for the tip! :msp_thumbsup: I will definitely keep that in mind if the home owner says take it down.
Work safe! ::thumbsup::

how much room do you have in the back? if you have the room i would just dump it strait back. is that deck attached to the trunk.

Missed ya Jacob! Randy definatally work there, and I know I said it before, but you need a good team mate. Maybe find a local kid fresh out of school who wants some work. Not all jobs can be done alone, especially disection. Having somebody who can pull rope, rig. Get a small tool or another you need, and tie it on the rope so you can pull it up instead of having to climb down for it. John and I also help each other with different angles. I can see things from the bottom looking up he may miss from the air, like a phone line or service line. And same goes with him getting a different angle looking down. No matter how big or small the job we partner up. Brian good call, and I will second it looks like it was pruned or topped, and yep watch the crotches! Pac good call too, we have been lucky to be able to fall some instead of having to piece out everything.
