O i can see it now, he is missing his carpenter belt and a sawzall. i was on that job and the co made him climb the tree 3x. the first climb he had to gut thin untill the poor ol tree was empty, than later the boss talked the ho into thinking the tree needed to come down because it was too big. than the boss made me run up and hack off some big limbs just to make sure we got the job. the next day i pruned her to the stump. i hate to admit thats me for many reasons and im sad to see such a nice healthy tree get destroyed for no good reason. i hate to hack but where i work its my job. the tree was a easy 90+ feet with two big healthy codom stems. the tree had to come down small and lots of ropin to avoid many obsticles. we had no biz f-in up such a nice tree:cry: the bos did it all for a grand. stump and wood included. it was 4hrs comming down. the chips filled 1-1/2 full truck loads and the wood was almost 4 fully stacked loads in our new big truck. 4 man crew 1-1/2 days. saftey gear is not required were i work so i often leave it in the truck. sorry for showing a poor example on this great site. im even more sorry about all the nice trees we f-up.i refuse to admit i work like that. its not me. heck im just a cable guy


your boss is working for peanuts. a grand??? what kinda profit to do you think he made after expenses? Maybe $200?
 
Oh and you shouldn't be sorry about removing the tree. Your boss should of recommended a prune, but if the homeowner insisted for one reason or the other. It's the homeowner who is to blame for the poor decision. I've done many that I didnt want to cut down, but I aim to please my customers. Id rather see a healthy tree removed than it topped.
 
Looks like a removal to me, I hope. The TIP should have been around the tree not a branch. Friction saver makes life easier, better for tree and rope. It prolly was central TIP before he cut half the tree off. There is a dark spot in front of his leg that may be ahelmet. I don't know where he could have hidden his glasses. I couldn't imagine not using them. He looks pretty comfortable up there, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

i am very sorry about removing good strong healthy trees for no good reason. im sure the home owner is sorry about it too, but i gave her a nice round and a few good pieces for some leg's. she wants to make a table for keep sake. the table will be worth more than the removal!!! i could have left her parts for a entire dinning set. the homeowner has no clue just like my boss and customers trust the tree company and rely on our knowlage to do the right thing. its our job!!! i rather see a healthy tree cared for over and over again over cutting them all down, and there is much more money in the care of trees than making a bunch stumps:dizzy:
 
One thousand is crazy, I prolly would have felt stupid for doing it for two.
you would realy feel stupid if you could see here house:jawdrop: its prolly only worth about 10mill:cry:

yeah no freakin way a grand. Thats a 22 to 2600 dollar removal for sure. 4 Guys day and a half. Thats 3000 in my book, but i would of done it for 24. HA HA looks like it would of been a fun one too, top ropin and taking monster cuts, thats my kind of a ride. CC RIDER:jawdrop:

and as far as a TIP goes, i am sure WLL has been in crotches that have smelled worse. were you wearing a helmet then? lol

WLL, is the company you work for the only act in town? Looks like you're nice and comfy up there even though your TIP isn't on a main spar....Good/safe/efficient climbers are at a premium, I don't cut down healthy trees, I work in a park and I recognize that large healthy shade trees are priceless. In my opinion the attitude that someone else will "Get the Bid" and drop the tree is a cop-out. Maybe that's easy for me to say, being just a "Park Worker", but if it really bothers you, work with someone with more integrity, they get more steady work anyway......Just my opinion

thanx marty and welcome to the site. we are far from the only act in town, must be 50 or more from me to work, seems only the hacks pay a fair wage round here.
