    lost this sawtooth to lightning

    It will be a stump by this afternoon. Tom, your spot on. Its fractured through and through. I'm hoping there will be a picture. The Arborist doing the removal, when we talked yesterday, described it as decimated. Had it been a different species like a pine, I bet it would be in pieces on the...

    client won't pay....

    In the latest episode of “Idiots with chainsaws”

    I was working on a vista view job. Last 2 trees of the day were shagbark hickory tall forward leaners, first one I got away with, second one... well, let's just say it wasn't intentional. Scared me. Learned the coos bay and several other techniques after that.
