whadja do today?

[Blakesmaster]

You need to hire me for a day. I'd show you how to hang them and bring whole trees down from the ground...

Good job though bro. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Thanks bud. I've done them that way before and it's a blast to say the least. But in my experience you really need a rigging point with no obstacles underneath it. Damn white pine branches snap so easily, and they're usually so ####### long anything within a 20 ft radius of your rigging point is subject to some serious damage. That being said, I'd love to work with you, md. A few beers at your lake at the end of a good long day sounds about right.

I love cranes, Blakes.
Jeff

And I luv you, Jeffy. lol

Looks like big ''Marge'' is no longer ''Large and in Charge''.

Good job on em .


Don't worry about the critics ,the world is full of them .I bet if somebody posted pics of cutting up 5 cords of wood with every pc cut to within 1/16 of an inch to each other ,somebody would come on here and ask why your lazy ass didn't cut them to a more uniform size.

Nice job!

Ahhh hah busted, your not going to pass off those tooth picks for 90 footers on a North West arborist. I'll bet ya our truck has more 200' climbing lines then you have carabiners.
If you are so well off you can burn $1,200 on a crane rental I won't stop you. I do jobs like this on a routine basis, use the second pine in as your tower,use the chipper winch, z-rig or 3-4 ground guys and take pieces down in 15-20' sections. Cut wood and stack in back yard and post on craigs list and gone in 24hrs. If you have to rent dingo to move the wood your still saving $1,000 Just another 8 hr day, no crane required.

You talk a big game off pictures holden. Let's see some of your jobs. 3 to 4 groundmen? Been doing tree work for 41 years and never needed more than 1 gm. Pay someone on an adjacent property to allow to bring in the crane, knock it out with the bc 2000, flat bed dumps, and be off to another job the next day and making more money than you over the week.

You're a miserable condescending ass and likely an alchy. There ain't one single thing you have done that others haven't routinely done and you're nothing special.oke:

Thanks I don't see too many bad jobs in here, most of yall are professional. Granted some jobs are a little harder than others but there is no easy livin unless your Donald Trump imo.

He's got no easy livin', bet he spends 3 hours every morning on that comb-over.

Had a good week, aside from a few minor setbacks. Got paid, 3 day weekend ahead, and no plans. May take the boy out to the baseball game if there is one tomorrow night.
Gonna hit the shower and go listen to some music on the square, watch the fire jugglers and try to get tired enough to not remember any dreams.

I'd like to meet the crew that could put those 7 trees down and clean up the brush in an 8 hour day. Really, I would.

i'd venture to say we'd get em as our first gig of the day. that driveway in the back looks awfully inviting!

good effort blakes, you the man.

too bad those 5 pines got in the way of you hitting beantown and a free crane lesson! that sucks.

stay safe man.

Thanks. I'll get up there sometime soon. I checked that drive too. 85 feet away, just like the HO's. With your crew's experience you might have been able to figure out a way for a bigger crane or how to get the jib on through those wires but I wasn't about to risk it. The budget was tight on this gig.

My mom made me wear a t shirt that said "does not mix well with other children"opcorn:

(and that was just yesterday lol)

 

[treevet]

Lmfao it will be 106 and 90% humidity soon here and sometimes makes me wanna be swimming lol. Nahhhhh too many bills not enough time,I have to go finish clean up on six 40 inch 110 foot pines power company cut so better get offa my arse lol

Never understood that humidity thing. That day on the weather channel it said 65 % humidity when I looked. A little later I looked again for storms and it said 69% in one part of town and 99% in another part of town. Seems to me that anything over the 90% and it would be raining out? Gotta be some air in there even when it is raining.

Taking the weekend off.. had enough treework for a week.

Got a 10:00 estimate with "Edson", and his "friend", "Chad". Lol.. they got the dough though, that's for sure. Nice to work a block away from the shop too!
