I've posted some of these before but here ya go. Hackberry with split limbs over the house. $3500 for this one. Took out 2 more in the back for $4200 and $2800. 10.5 for the whole job. Everything was picked over the house with a 64 ton crane.
I know, I know, brain bucket! This was back before I wore a helmet. Sometimes you can tech an old do new tricks!
which side of the fence paid for the tree
He already said it was old pic, before he wore helmets.
What I cannot understand is... how can guys stand to have the twigs & little stuff flapping around there heads w/o a helmet? That would drive me nuts.

If you read my post it says everything was picked over the house with a 64 ton crane.
As for the helmet. Not so much blatant disregard as ignorance. No one wore them in my area when I was coming up in the industry including me. I saw one climber wear a helmet in like 12 years of service and certainly no one taught me to wear one. I still don't see many wear them where I live. However, after working under loose detached limbs doing storm work I will not go without a helmet again. Especially since a 40 year veteran was killed by a widow maker here a couple of years ago. He was 70 and they said a helmet would have saved him.

OK, now I see what your asking, sorry for the confusion.
From the direction I am facing the tree while cutting over the fence it would be the house to the left. The one where you can see the roof. This footage was actually taken from the roof of the clients house. He had tried to get the neighbor to pay for some of the expense but the guy was a real ass. The neighbor had asked me to leave him some firewood which I did leave him what was lowered in his yard. We were loading out with the crane as we went and stacked neat piles on the curb to pick up what we couldn't get the first day. We came back a second day and I cut firewood lengths for the neighbor but I wasn't about to ask my guys to carry wood into his back yard when all they had to do was load it from the curb. I had asked the guy to email me some of the pics he took while I was removing the tree. He sent me an empty email with no pics saying that he hoped I enjoyed the pics as much as he would enjoy the 4 or 5 "ricks" of wood I left him. I left him about a cord and I guess that was not good enough for him. Hey what do you want for free. I certainly was not going to pay my guys to move and stack his wood. If he wanted it he was welcome to get out there and carry it himself. He was a pencil necked geek anyway. I sent him a reply telling him Thanks anyway and I hoped he enjoyed the FREE firewood I did leave him as well as the show. Takes all kinds I guess.

Yeah I was just a little curious because it looked like it crossed the property line and sometimes that causes a fued.
