ran the crane today on the last job. 4 pines and a cherry. other side of the house and blind once the tops were out. kinda an unsettling feeling boom'n up when you can't see the pick....

i'll tell you what though i am now gaining an even greater appreciation for the importance of communication. i really don't know if i would want to be in the seat not knowing exactly what the climber is planning on sending out. lol. and these trees were not all that big! (about 7k average for the pine, little cherry)
 
got an emergency call this morning while i was in a tree from my neighb or told him id be over in a few quickly finished up what we were doing and went over he had a branch that was about as big around as my wrist broken off and hanging told him not to tell me there was an emergency (why dont people understand that a hanging branch thats not near anything can wait till 4 oclock to be dealt with?) unless there really was one cut it down with the pole saw rest of te day was spent pruning and doing house calls on past jobs to make sure customers were happy
 
We had a 120' blue gum to remove this morning. The DBH at 52" . It was next to a major street in Oceanside, but the big open lot behind was ours for the using. We just set up a road sign and using the lot, we dropped it. We did have to set up our rigging though because we did not want it to interfere with traffic. I put five guys on it and I helped because if something went wrong, I need to have an answer. Got it done i seven hours.

Big responsibilities always humble a person and should, OD I bet when your on the hook its rock and roll but when your on the stick its slow and easy right? I would be scared of hurting someone, especially in blind scenarios and slow and easy is how I would react until confident but even then the responsibility would always be there:cheers:
