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

[struggle]

Not much to explain on this. The pictures do a pretty good job. I did climb it to take it all down without any additional damage to the building:msp_smile:

Ha, awesome pics !!!! lmao !!! So, you think you coulda saved the piece of eavestrough ? I'd have tried just notching everything else out and leaving the slab attached to the trough, to add character to the building !

Good work ! And a good pile of firewood too !

Awesome pics Randy and Shane. Randy that looked like a fun job, would like to have been there to help. Shane that definitely looked like an interesting job. Its amazing where people put trees. Took the day off my self, got all of our a/c ductwork replaced today. Couldnt just sit there and watch the guys work so I was up there all day in the attic helping where I could. From about 10am to about 7pm I was in and out of the attic. That is a crappy job!!! Would not want to do that at all. I am TIRED LOL. Hope all is well with everybody.

I just don't understand how someone would let a tree grow up against a building like that.....:msp_blink::dunno:

It was a challenging tree to cut, I will say that. I just don't trust Poplar, and this one was starting to die off(and pull out of the ground:msp_scared. Turned out the wood was all sound/solid, I was very happy to find that out as I was climbing it. I'm thinking about putting up the video even though I only got a few pics and a couple video clips.....:dunno:
Sounds like you "worked" on your day off :hmm3grin2orange:.
I'll be cutting at some point this weekend, hopefully will finish the Cherry tree at my brother in law's. :biggrinbounce2:

Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

The guy that used to own this property did not give one care to its up keep. It is basically a 6 stall garage/storage building.

It was tree that just started to grow on its own (cottonwood)

New owner wanted it gone and it is now sort of. All they wanted me to do was cut it down. They would take care of hauling it away. Not sure if they realized just how much would be there to haul though. I did offer to haul it away if they change thier mind.

I thought you guys might get a kick out of it

HEY NORM!!!!!
it's good to hear from ya again, was just wondering how "things" have been workin' out for ya? Hope the fight is going well at the Capital. Hope it's not too discouraging?
Sounds like you need to take a little time to relax and get out, and remember what you're fighting for. :biggrinbounce2:

Time for this working man to make coffee and get ready for work.....:hmm3grin2orange:
Have a good weekend!

Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

 

[NORMZILLA44]

good to see ya guys, and Randy emotional battle, been a struggle. Without getting political, think maybe tides turning, we are getting some horsepower behind us. Flattering when you come home and on facebook you get friends requests from senators. Man I need to cut some trees! Have not got my pole saw fixed yet, but thats cool give me time for the cash. Im thinking be like 300 bucks. Told darine while hes in there it would make sense to do whatever he thought, save a second trip.

Little bro, Christmas '09,

biggest tree on the lot, it could be 400 years old too. The branches 20 feet up are trees in their own right.

It's good to have back Norm,
really do hope you win that battle at the Capital, sounds like you've got the attention and support of people with some "influence". Please keep posting updates on that.
Ayuh, get out and cut some trees, "relax" and enjoy some "down time".

Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

I did end up posting the Poplar take down video, I really am disappointed I didn't at least get pics of the top on the ground. :frown: Oh well, sometimes while getting the work done I forget about everything else. :redface: Anyway, here it is, it was a challenge to get on the ground without collateral damage to the other trees.....

I apologize for the time away my fine friends! I need to get my saws out and do some cutting, got my pole saw back from saw shop. No parts needed they just shortened the shaft an inch where it broke, and were able to get it fixed up! Hows everyone doing? I sure have missed my friends!:cool2::msp_thumbsup:

 

[struggle]

It has been relatively quiet for me. Nothing new to report.

It will give me sometime to go through some older saws I have here and see what needs to be done.

 

[Denis Gionet]

Hey Norm, good to hear from ya ! It's been pretty quiet up here in the great white North, waiting on moose bowseason to start up next weekend. Went to the hunting camper yesterday, got the fridge started, tested out all the other lp gas stuff, good to go. Brought home a little load of dry pine for the camp. Finally finished my shed today, after about 2 months of not touching it. Lots of stuff to store in there for winter !

Still want to winterize the 5th wheel before the weekend, they're calling for just above freezing tonight !!! Tomorrow will get me winterizing, I don't want to change water lines next spring !

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Awesome you two! Love working on old saws, well at least going through them, rearanging them. Ok well sometimes I just open my shed door to see my saws ok LOL! Denis, cool man I miss having a bow. Sometimes nothing is like hunting camp. Definately nice to get away.

It's good to hear from ya' again, how goes "the battle"? Hope all is well with you, good to hear the pole saw was a "no parts fix".:msp_thumbup: Sounds like you got an itch to scratch, you need to get your hands on a chainsaw.....:hmm3grin2orange:

Hello Shane,
I see you changed your avatar pic, very nice.
I've been crazy busy at my full time job at the shop, finally took some time to do yardwork that was WAY overdue! (trim hedges that were out of control ) Also had to replace one of the cables on my garage door, it snapped just as the door closed yesterday. No big deal, just more of those "working man" things that come up and need to get done whether you're busy or not..... I got the Cherry and Elm down at my brother in law's last Monday, but I can't seem to access most of the pics and video I took. I'm trying to find some "recovery software" to "rescue" the pics off the memory card, any suggestions???
Anyway, have a safe week everyone! :msp_thumbsup:

.....time for bed, 4am comes mighty early.....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Randy missed you to Bro! Battle went to the governor. We are working all angles! Yeah for sure I need to do some sawing! Wonder if Aaron is game
