Today....

That’s impressive! What does that crane weigh though, probably about 95,000 pounds?

79k and change. It's barely shy of 80k. The counterweights and jib add 13k

That’s not quite so bad, the 60 ton we work with here weighs about 92k if I recall correctly. It travels with all its counterweights and jib though, so it comes out about the same.

Those big wreckers are expensive though, for sure! We had two 65 ton wreckers out to lift our truck last week, and a semi with a Landoll to haul it back to the tow yard, it’s so badly broken.

First night of camping in the tree house (building-in-progress).

Hope you're taking a lot of pictures! Pls start a thread on it or hijack an old treehouse thread if there is one!

Looks like a nail deep in there.

We were going to have a light maintenance day monday and maybe take the 4th off. Then we got a tree on an apartment building.

4th of July rate for sure.

Can't exactly charge more after the bid. We bid it for emergency rates anyway. My guys wanted to work today. I gave them all the option of having the 4th off. We would have been done yesterday if we didnt have to wait over 3 hours for cars to be moved. Then a storm rolled in and we had to call it.

I was being facetious, pointing out working on a holiday, which I did today.

Nice work!

Got the rigs together for a group photo after a bit of island shuffling, and quite pleased with my current setup. (but always room for upgrades...)

 

[Vicente]

Working on a heavy thinning of over planted pines and firs at one of my friends homes. Found my first king snake today walked back down to where we were working at the end of the day and there he was pretty sore I've sideways wanted to see one.

Can you say “lightning strike”? Fortunately, nobody was injured, especially the lady sitting in the front room upstairs where the tree hit the house.

That was one hot bolt!

That was one hot bolt!

Yes, it sure was! It also killed the cable box, a whole pile of LED lights, and a couple appliances in the house. I feel bad for the lady, last time we were there, about three years ago, we took half a Tulip Poplar out of the living room. She seems to have some bad luck with her trees.
