Lol plenty of room looked safe to me was that the Grcs?

Not sure Rope, Got that in 2003 for the Cal-Edison Bark Beetle Project in Lake Arrowhead. A good deal at $2500.00 and still using 7 years later on a big dollar tree. The biggest pain is setting it up right when plans are changing on the job. Lucky I had a bunch of mature Cal. palms around.

Didnt do crap today. Trees are so small, it sux. Looking for another job. Logging is really going downhill here. You guys working?:givebeer:
 
SO Jeff, Are you using one of those economy bollards to pull the tree? First I gotta say that's something! And also I would say just put it on the truck and leave that heavy thing alone.

But yes, you did.

Is $2500.00 the economy version? Heavy? You mean solid- right? It's only heavy to the girls! :)

I know you are smarter than that. Maybe heavy, but being on that ground with massive tension and the chance of a truck loosing traction, that wedge with a pull that slipped back would be on you big boy!

We have the speckled king I leave them be in hopes they stay on my farm.

You got it Rope, Last year I had a 13 foot one in my drive way, it took me 10 minutes to get him to leave! Snakes have a purpose- huh.
Jeff, CTSP :)

Lmao some do get to live some don't here on ropes farm the venomous variety are used as fertilizer my grandbabies are more important imo.
 
Man we have been busy. I cant seem to get near a tree cos i spend the whole day quoting. My crew are gonna start calling me lard ass soon. Actually its a fair bet that has already started. Last day of a 5 day dogging course tomorrow. Thats basic crane rigging for you guys. Now I can legally sets chains for a crane. Lol.

I have a nice new video but it isnt uploaded yet. There is a decent crane in it though........
 
I haven't been to work in a couple of weeks. I had my surgery last week and I'm still a little sore and on medication. However, we had a storm roll through town last night. No tornado but they said we had around 80-100 MPH straight line winds. Just got a call on a tree on a house. I'm going to take a look and hopefully do it this week. Thank God too, I'm ready to get back to work.

I'll post some pics when I get back if it's anything worth looking at.
 
Busy...yesterday, three avocado stems to reduce, then a Chinese fan palm to remove, then a magnolia to take the elephants ear vine out of and cut back from a roof, today a rigging removal of a large heavy limb over a new roof and brand new commercial AC unit!

Might take tomorrow off...nah...little cedar tree to reduce and a pittosporum to prune, nice Friday work:cheers:
 
Well our little storm turned out to pack a little bit of a punch. A couple of outlying metro towns caught the brunt of the storm with some roofs torn completely off. I am working Tulsa proper where the damage was a little more moderate, albeit wide spread. They are calling the areas hit outside of Tulsa an EF2 tornado but they are not sure about Tulsa proper. What is certain is the winds were high enough to uproot mature trees and many limbs were on the ground. They are saying winds reached 85+ in Tulsa. I saw a half dozen mature trees on houses and some big limbs on structures but most of the work is clean up of smaller limbs. I bid this one the first thing this morning then went and took a large limb off of another house in a higher end part of town. I've got this one to take off of the house and three more large removals in another location.
