whadja do today?

[bck]

You back drinking vagisil again son? No other bids even asked for...waiting for a big crane appt. It would tip over the silly schit you got. I am thinking the first pick will be in the 40k range. This job is way beyond your abilities....uhhh....duhhhh...LMAO. You are about a dumb bittch sometimes Paulene. Throw up some more pictures of easy ash removals, lowering a million times, spreading mass plywood with morons who put up with that schit and equipment you are in debt out your a$$ with and ****...censored (shut the fk up). And I mean that in the nicest way possible. View attachment 916316

Thin line between a hero and a coward. But that line is fully recognized by the person themselves. Happy 4th everyone. God Bless America.

Wide open as in vid...no way to cut the piece IN the building attic anyway. If you could then you'd have one end go thru the ceiling (it is suspended by the 2 brick walls on either end) to the floor and it would become a total schit show. Just worried about the building interfering with the piece departing and adding lbs to the pick. Would like to get the crane set up right next to the building but a bit of an incline up there. No worries re turf and sidewalk damage as dozers will take care of that. I had my guy cut a space in the back of the building thru the weeds to get my altec 4x4 in there to make the cut....the one cut. Guy just put me off a day and said Mon. is a holiday.

What are you going to use for slings?

Really, really big ones? Lol

I am gonna let him make that call and he likely has some. I have some heavy metal 16 and 20' ones. We got a sling place in the town my business property is 5 minutes from the job ..https://www.mazzellacompanies.com/mazzellalifting/

Whatever it takes I will buy it and it will get used again later. I am thinking he might lift one end and drag the other end out given the building is being demoed. Don't know yet where he will want me to make the cut. I'd like to make it in the woods so I don't have to cut and move some after he makes the pick. I have permission to boom the wood into the woods but we'd have to go thru thick brush to unhook and I already have about 50 chigger bites on me from last week. Poison ivy all over on woods edge.

We are gonna use the sub for both jobs on consecutive days. Had him booked for Mon and Tues. He called me Sat and said he taking off Mon. for a holiday he forgot it was. Me and Bryan were gonna work anyway and I told Bryan I'd double pay him for that day and he was down for it. Now we are moved to Tues and Wed for the sub, looking like rain and storms those days, esp Wed and I have to decide which to do first. The big ash, well over 100' tall and 5' trunk dia will take most of the day to get all wood out and the school will be part of the day I think so want to do the ash first and have him leave his crane in my lot and drive my Nissan Frontier home for the night (Kentucky) if he wants and come back. If he no shows then it is a trade his 90 ton crane for my mini truck lol. Gotta do a bit of ball riding (not balls like you ride MDS) on the ash. Just want it all over. Got $20k on both of em. Purchase order on one and check on front porch on the other on completion.

$20k for that split ash?

 

[mckeetree]

$20k for that split ash?

Probably a little on the high side but let's face it, we all have been doing this **** way too cheap for way too long. Even the guy's that feel like they are charging plenty really aren't. I've got over $1,000,000 invested in equipment not counting land/shop...that's another $250,000.

no doubt, get it while you can. Everything is only getting more expensive .

That just doesn’t look like that big of a tree. Definitely not $20k

 

[tree MDS]

It’s a nice round figure. Lol

Jesus, everybody and his brother is starting to run around here craning trees. I have a hard time finding jobs I can use the bucket on let alone ballpark landing zones lol. You’d think it was rocket science the way some people talk about crane work. Let’s be honest, the machine and the operator do most of the work. I mean really. Riding the ball alright hahaha.

I know of that guy. I’m guessing it was well taken care of. A lot of boom to swing around for some spots maybe, but might not be that much of an issue, I mean most buckets have that issue anyway to some degree. Buy that and a lift and you’ll be golden.

I bought it off of Bud Wright last August. Only reason I bought it because you could tell right away that it was well maintained.

Gotcha. So you’re selling it. Your post had me confused (it’s not that hard).

Yea, I think I found a deal on a nice rear mount elevator

 

[treevet]

The 2 trees for 20k. But vids and picts are very misleading. That tree is as big as white ash get on a property from the late 1800's and been around probably bout that long. I was getting $450. to inject it yearly with Mauget. That's why it is still alive. Been juiced for 16 years this year thru 2 owners. NO way you could do that job without a crane and it is out of reach for my 100' crane without the jib. And I don't even carry the jib anymore. It is all out over the pool and the back.

FKN...BINGO

 

[tree MDS]

FKN...BINGO

Like that workaday ash you keep posting up lol

 

[treevet]

And it didn't split...that huge limb detached and just socketed out leaving view the trunk is completely hollow. No way to know that before. That ash is about the size of this one I took out a few years ago....
