With two hanging broken branches and some previous damage on the far side, it was easy to convince the property owner that I should remove the entire limb.

Both dead branches broke loose on the way down, making cleanup a lot easier.

The tree is on the neighbor's property while the dead branches were pretty close to the client's house. I like it when people are reasonable and easy to work with.

This limb was heavier that the ones I usually deal with, and I knew it was going to be slowed down by the brush under it, so I didn't see the need to try the Bender. A notch on the bottom followed by a top cut worked fine.
 
Kitty litter is sold by weight, not volume. I've never seen a volume figure on the tubs. An unmodified tub for 20 pounds of Priority lightweight litter holds a little over 3.5 gallons of water.

I found the tubs (12" tall) a little too small to hold my climbing ropes, but it was pretty easy to make them larger by cutting and nesting them together to extend the bottom (left 13 1/2") or top (right 14 1/2").

The litter tubs sure beat the five gallon buckets I was using. They're not as tough, but they're lighter, take us less room, and are easily replaced if broken.

Thats the exact size and shape I've been dreaming of! Now I just need to find a friend with a cat that uses a litter box. My cats are all outside cats.
 
This was a saddening removal of a walnut. It was overtaken by vines and the owner is building a home. The electric cooperative disconnected the service for free while I flopped it. I’m hoping the owner will at least give the log away. I brought home a few portions of the top.

Cool, what are you going to make with it?
 
I had to leave part of this one.

The branch that's holding it up there had it locked in place. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.

I was able to get a lot of the weight off it, though. And I got a bunch of the rotting stubs off, too.

This one went better. I removed a sizable piece of dead wood that was lying loose on top. Then I removed the lower branch before hanging the rest.

I installed this arrangement of free recycled treated lumber deck boards to keep the sun off the roll-up door on my metal building. The inside of the door will approach 150 degrees F in the summer, making the building unusable. This should help a bit. The rest of the east-facing wall is insulated.

The lower horizontal board drops into joist hangers, so it's easy to remove it and as many vertical boards as necessary to get something through the door.

It actually looks really cool IMO. Maybe you can hang that as a new exterior “storm” door on rollers by installing a track for it to ride on. Keep the function, add some convenience.

Just ropes and lots of time. Big Dirty needs a Date with the mechanic for some PM. I rebuilt the whole subframe area where the crane mounts and changed up the outrigger setup to make it much more stable. That thing is rock solid now. One gremlin left is to fix the AC before Summer hits. Back when all I had was a rope I didn’t ever have to think about this kinda stuff!

Funny little spruce through a deck. Cut and chuck onto the beach.

Why didn’t you just fell it through the little gap in the rail? LOL! Nice one. Good on ya to put the ply over the windows. I remember one years ago through a shed roof. After getting down to the roof, it was so weird to be standing on a spar indoors To finish.
