Blind knots, can really f- things up mostly when they are in line with the hinge. Always worth a good solid look for any hint, can’t always get a feel though

Always fun when you bail from a job for shitty weather or whatever reason, then run into the client. Kinda like getting caught skipping school
Somewhat surprisingly that pine was still standing when I got back to it, probably would have failed without the strap because it was twisting in the wind and you could see sky through it from ground level up to like 30 feet. Customer removed the fence, i had to fell it onto the concrete bulkhead, reaching to the beach, which I cushioned with like 4 feet of rotten logs and brush so I didn't smash it. Sketchy tree.

Do tell, did you clean up or wait for high tide? Back in the day we would slice and dice, stash behind driftwood. Or toss some saw gas and let the leaf blower idle
LOL, I wasn't shitty like that and I can prove it
While I did make and leave big logs to lay parallel with the existing driftwood (no harm done there in a pocket beach where it stays put), I cut and moved ALL the brush up onto a rock bluff, for the customers to burn.
It was a lot of work for a Saturday.

You might be too rocky, a little hardware (eye bolts/lags) a chunk of chain, and some duckbills.. Shoreline soft armoring to soften tides and sea level/king tides, might even get paid extra to leave logs on the beach!LOL, I wasn't shitty like that and I can prove it

Yes, just water. The first 24 hrs I used cold water, came out very grey and milky at the end. So I decided to rinse and do another 24 hrs, this time in warm water. It came out almost as milky as the first time. Someone online told me it's wax that comes off. They treat the fibres with wax to help them glide through the weaving and braiding machines at the factory....
Lots of winching yesterday, and today was my employees first time truly negative rigging (underground lines below the tree to worry about). We lowered some pretty decent pieces of wood and he did great, didn't rock me a single time and had a couple of really smooth perfect runs. (finishing up a job from last week) Oh, and using the truck to lift and then lower an uprooted fir out of a big leaf maple.

Vista prune on the bay, earlier this week.
It’s deceiving how far down the shoreline is but it’s ~150 steps down. Turned out to be a beautiful day! Where’s Waldo: I’m on the left and homie Ian is on the right. I ended up using his line redirected onto the far right white pine to turn a couple branches away (owners are greedy pruners) as he helped the boss down at the water
