[NeSurfcaster]

Been wet/windy and unfortunately lots of wood splitting on these $hitty days.

Yesterdays tree, Smaller chestnut oak removal about a 70 footer but not a lot of leads. Half day tree, couldn't get our grinder in there so have to have a buddy grind it.

Monster sugar maple today, bucket truck was used. 4 loads of chips and 1 full load of logs. Started grinding at 1 o'clock, 3 man crew

What kind of pine is that? Looks like spruce from the pictures.

I was in the bucket. We just had to park it a ways back because of the service wires (you can see in the first pic) and stretch it out to reach the far side by the house.

Kind of a fun little tree. This was the last piece we roped, then I picked it apart with my little buddy (actually picked the center and right side earlier too).

I don’t know what I did to piss off the boss. I had to work at this dump yesterday. How could anyone live like this? It was pure torture. The crew and I were all picking out our fishing spots and deciding where to put a camper. I even bought a lottery ticket today so I can buy this property.

 

[NeSurfcaster]

Would of made the old timers proud today. The big one was about 85/90' and the smaller one was about 70/75'. Then threw the spikes on chunked down 2 thick oak sparks the power company left. Used the 850 w/ a 28", needed a 32"+ to chunk down the 25' spars. Very small drop zone for the spars. Wished I would of got more pics but the guy that brought me in already had the customer nervous. I didn't want to take a bunch of pics looking like it's something too big or out of the ordinary.

The ash war continues MDS style. Sometimes I feel like a spoiled kid with too many toys, but then I realize how hard I bust my old ass lol. The equipment sure does help though.

 

[NeSurfcaster]

You sure do have some nice stuff MDS. The toys you have really help get big jobs done quick. The logs you move around with that yellow/black machine are huge. Also your toys are back savers, a lot less moving heavy wood by hand. The plywood tho phew, take an 1/2 hour just to mat it. But your not rutting up peoples yards so I get it, more repeat customers. You do nice work and take lots of pics, so thank you

Any of you guys...try approaching a rental store that has the mats to get a good deal on used ones. They like to turn this kinda stuff over to start write off/depreciation all over again.

News flash....Just heard from Jeff that MB (Treehouse) passed away in his sleep yesterday. Died from cancer. Not one of my favorites but still a tree brother and gonna say a prayer for him and family.

All set up this morning for day four on that twenty something ash tree removal job we’ve been working on. Getting there after today. Still a ways to go, but not too bad. On schedule anyway.

 

[NeSurfcaster]

Nice, I like those types of jobs. As long as the ride isn't too long and the dump site isn't too far away.

That’s too bad.

I did a crane job yesterday. Decent sized ash. Competition was working next door. It was an absolute clown show. They had no idea what they were doing. We had to stop and watch because at one point we thought someone was going to get killed.
