The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[NHlocal]

Randy thread wise, and crew wise you took the words right out of my mouth. Love thes guys and the stories. All friends here if they come in with attitude they leave qucik! That is what I had hoped for starting this, real people. Sweet vid 4 foot that's a good one. I have never run a 385 but always wanted one! Know guys love em, and I would too. I still can't let the 288 go.

The great thing about it Norm, is it helps pay the bills AND I enjoy the work(as hard as it is). And I know that there are
a bunch more people out there doing the same thing.:msp_thumbup: Sharing all this with others is just icing on the cake!
I don't like posing for pics but my wife took one anyway, last pic of the afternoon.:redface:
Work safe. ::thumbsup::

Good deal man. I feel the same way with the tree work. Nice picture dude the legendary 385 and a good slab of wood. Big tree.

Started cutting on a new road today, Tilton of west sexton in the western Sonoma county. All the people were against it, thought they would protest, they went right to the top borad of sup's. Hell my boss had a great Idea. You want to complain to the supervisors! So we brought the sup's to see the road now one lane via brush encrouchment, and brought out a bobtail to show them it getting the piss beat out of it! Well no more restraints I lit the candle first thing this morning. Cut the ribbon with my 046 mag, fell a decent size oak centered it right down the road, the dual port could be heard out to the highway. Chips flew all day! Sorry no pics but the star quarter back was in all day fallin, and no camera room! Tommorow little buddy's!

Those are always good words to hear, "started cutting...today". Too bad you didn't get pics, :msp_sad: that's O.K., I've been
there myself. You look back on a good day of cutting and think, "I sure would've liked to share some of this...". You're there to work,
not to take pics, if you do get some it's just icing on the cake. :wink2: Good to hear from ya Norm, hope to see some pics if you can
get some. Here are a couple of mine from last Saturday.
Work safe. ::thumbsup::

That's what I'm talkin' about Norm! Putting wood on the ground, even if it's the small stuff. Nice pics, seeing this
right before going to sleep? I'm gonna be dreamin' about cuttin' trees tonight! (Thanks Norm!):hmm3grin2orange:
Work safe. ::thumbsup::

The brush and wood had to fit in a 8x8 area. Lots of rigging we used a big fir set a block in it and rigged off of that. The fir has to come out after. There is sheds and crap every where ( lots of targets). This is why I love my job because of jobs like this the pics don't do justice.

Ayuh, it's great when the home owner is satisfied/happy, but the real satisfaction comes when you can look back, knowing how hard
the job really was, how much it pushed your skills to the limit, and it all came down just like you wanted it to, that's where the REAL
satisfaction comes from. Those challenging jobs are the ones I enjoy most. Great pics, GREAT JOB!
Work safe! ::thumbsup::

Yep Randy I agree, and every tree and job is different. I sometimes refer to it as dismantling. Like a puzzle. They are all unique and offer there own challenge. But agreed the fact of being able to do the job, and take pride in it is what it's all about.

I agree to a tee. I also call it dismantling and it's always different when you get up in it.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yep love that term, and the smell of fresh cut fir too!:msp_thumbsup:

"Yard work in New Hampsha'..."

Did a little cutting this afternoon, sorry no pics. The same tree I took the broken top off a few weeks back. I found they were in
too bad of health to bother saving. Red maple(Acer Rubrum), it'll make good firewood next winter. That was a good video on the
fir take down, we sure don't have trees like that here in New Hampshire!:msp_w00t: Good night, have a happy Easter, and.....
Work safe! ::thumbsup::

 

[NORMZILLA44]
