Great pics Sam,
.....that's quite a location you're working in, beautiful scenery.

It's really nice up there, but the damn humidity has been a killer lately, not used to it out here. 30% and I want to lay down and die, 93% this morning, brutal. You Eastern guys are tougher than me....Grew up in Indiana and couldn't stand it!

Ayuh, it does get a little "sticky" out here.....:hmm3grin2orange: I'm not sure I'll ever really get used to it.

Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

Hello all, hope everyone had a good 4th! Norm looks like a nice group of workin saws! Sorry to hear you got poped in the head. Just a little reminder to stay on your toes. I just had one the other day, was up in a tree and was cutting with my hand saw on one side and went to cut on the other side. On the way from one side to the other I just nicked my rope. Did not damage the rope, but gave me quite a startle. Have been paying a little more attention to where my saw is. Randy nice work! Looks like everything went well. Here is some pics from last week. We stood one of the oaks up that had blown over in the storm. Went pretty well, used a loader to stand it up and its still standing.

Good to hear from you Brian,
Looks like you did alright getting that Oak stood back up, nice work. It didn't look damaged, it may look wilted for a while but it should recover. ;) Probably should keep the guy lines on it for support for at least a couple months maybe up to a year until the roots take hold, kinda the same situation as transplanting. Nice pics, thanks for sharing. :msp_thumbup: Ayuh, that tree came down as nice as you like, I love take downs that go exactly as planned. :clap:
Don't really have anything planned for Saturday (other than AM overtime at the shop, Sunday AM too) for the first time in a long time, never know, something may come up.....;)
Have a good weekend everyone.
Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:
 
Good stuff Brain! A little tree salvage I like it good work. Randy how we doin! Im headed for some cutting tommorow one of the ranhse, all loaded ready to roll.

Wish I was going cutting with you this time Norm. Sorry my friend. This Saturday's already taken with family obligations (planned weeks ago). Most Saturdays are open for me. Sunday I'll be working on saws and sharpening chains.....getting ready for next time..:cheers:
 
No problem Aaron. I understand was not to eventfull. I was cutting a tree bound up across the road. 2nd cut pinched the new Cannon A son of a ........... Good thing Bob's truck had a winch we pulled it off, the limb that is. It was cut most of the way. My truck was up top, because it would not make it down. Was a quick job, but wished I brought all my gear below. As we had the work up top, this was just a quick job.

I had a couple of spruce trees come down along my property line at the camp on Lake Charlotte, I cleaned them up and moved them to the lakeshore. They narrowly missed the storage shed.

That looks like an awesome place there Jerry. That's my kinda place, right on the lake!!

Why did you move the logs to the lakeshore?
