    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Thanks very much for the advice. I would love to use a lift but the customer doesn't want anything driving across all his walkways and wires, he wasn't even hearing it. After looking again today, I think the safest bet is to do the cribbing and drop it on the ice, over top of the wall. This will...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Last picture is drop zone. It has multiple drums buried underground, well line running up, drainage, and electric running to various parts on the wall. This is a summer use cottage so nothing is buried far beyond the grass.

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    I am waiting to hear back from the neighbors as to wether I can use their trees to help bring safety up. Certainly a good idea! One concern with pulling roots at this location is multiple other trees in the immediate area which are all neighbors

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Yes it is, sorry for the first photo. I am adding a few more pictures now to clarify some angles and where trees are. The larger ones to right are coming out in the spring, he just wants this one done now so it doesn't smush his wall with the next ice or wind. There are so many buried pipes and...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    I'm on it! I'd really like to use the pine for tip provided they'll go for it. I have heard tales of unfriendly neighbors at this lake a time or two.

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    I'll stop by there this morning and get some pictures, I appreciate the suggestions. The closest tree on their property is about 40 feet away. I am concerned about negative rigging, only because it has gained about 2 feet of lean since the first time I saw it. The neighbors pine tree at the base...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Sure can cut and Chuck it, I believe there's space to lay it in between the wall and house with some tires and plywood also. Great suggestion. Machinery is out currently due to distance from road and customer.

    This is gold! I don't know why I never thought of that, thank you!

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    I may have initially worded this wrong. I know I can climb out there and just chunk it out, and ultimately that's probably what I'll do. But the bigger the pieces the better for getting it out quickly and less mess. I will take some good pictures and repost

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Property line is along the ash trees to the right of the garage. I can't figure any way to get a machine in with clearance and sidewalk. It's a good 100' from the road and multiple wires near and far. There is space to lower it... What's your go to? Currently I have a small kit, massdam...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Should ad, the other trees are far away besides ones on neighbor's property. I do believe it's plenty sturdy to hang and slang, but curious what the real pros see

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    bad picture and angle but- 55' ash, skinny as a rail and dead. Wall and lake to left, 10' lawn and cabin. Property line at base of tree, working on house side. I work by myself and it can't be dropped whole because of the lean towards lake where new stone wall is stacked. Can I piece it by...

    Rate my Fat hinge

    I like it. Guessing you were trying to save the small fir with that hard right pinch. Playing your slice, so to speak. Success!

    What should I do with this unusual limb with dead wood?

    I'd cut it just below the canker and see if there's any chance of recovery, bonus of seeing how far the decay is if it's traveling already.

    Today....

    Im up in the Northeast corner of Pa by elk mountain ski resort. It's gorgeous, I don't ever get far from home before I miss it. We do get our fair share of rain, and snow! The trees I looked at today had at least 1/2" of ice on them.

    Today....

    Went to talk about a dead ash tree, ended up talking about 3 ash and doing Deadwood on the 3 maples that overhang structures. This will be a fun one
