Nice pictures Dave. How much did ya rip em for that one?

What kind of white mini is that anyways?

$800 and its a ramrod mini. never heard if it til my guy brought it out, did very well in the snow.They were some heavy blocks too. I brought a pickup load of superdead tips home for my fireplace, and all in all was a good day. got work all week, and the ad back in the paper this weekend.

Hey when you start flying at the job let me know lol. It has always been a dream to tell the customer we will be done with that tree in 20 minutes. After a short puzzled look they hear the rotors of the helo coming

Next hurricane. at the least, I'll rent one for recon.

But I am negotiating pricing now, to use one for big removals this spring.
Line up a bunch of jobs, and hammer em. Wonder what my insurance company will say................

nice snow pics dave! I'm wishing I had that much fun at work today....though, the mini is coming out tomorrow to play with a cottonwood in the back yard. Half dozen wires/cables, new antenae on the roof, new gutters. All will be fine business as usual but not the fun of letting big wood fly. I always enjoy seeing your updates and pictures. Stay warm and safe. (yes, I needed the thermals on monday, 17 in the morning but it warmed into the high 40's)

17 deg. in TX?:jawdrop:

I remember last year while I was in Beaumont (next to Houston, for our yankee brothas) it snowed 4". melted by lunch, but was pretty crazy. the cops even stayed in, nobody drove. we lived next to I-10, was a ghost town.

thanks.

I worked in Ashland,KY for Prichard's last winter & the terrain was unbelievable with the hills. Is the terrain like that in Virginia?

It's that cold here in central Mississippi right now too. There's actually ice half way across the 12 acre lake in my back yard.

 

[treeslayer]

most of the lakes here are covered in snowmobile tracks, and icefishing shanties, been froze hard.

It hit about 30 today, we call it a heat wave. of, course we had to plow a trail to the tree in the foot of snow........

I took down a big elm today, a lotta roping, and pruned 2 maples.
