    Wind resistant trimming

    Thank you ATH! There’s hours of research there to pour through- a good thing. Maybe top removal and a maintenance schedule will be best in this case. I have to see his trees and situation to get a better idea of what’s going on in his yard. Obviously, doing nothing would be best BUT they have...

    Is the 50ton crane the queen? The Blake’s hitch is a pawn?

    Im glad you re sparked that passion! I’m embarrassingly terrible at chess. I played the computer and couldn’t win past level 3 (50 levels). I don’t have the patience to analyze all of the potential moves and their consequences. I don’t have an issue doing this in trees but there’s real world...

    Wind resistant trimming

    What are/ is the acceptable method of trimming to thin out a conifer species for wind resistance? A neighbor said the has a line of spruce trees that could kill the house and other targets. A terrible storm recently broke a 40’ top out of one of them and now he wants to do some type of...

    photos of old cables

    Employees caring is difficult unless it’s very intentional. It’s successful if: the owner cares, he practices what he preaches, he qualifies employees and pays well, he trains well, he puts procedures in place, he holds people accountable when procedures are not followed, photographs of...

    Chaps or chainsaw pants?

    Like mentioned - depends on operation. I’m just a 1 man part timer who has a ground guy for removals. Pants probably would be good for forestry work like ATH said. All I wear anymore are Wrangler “outdoor” pants. They are flexible, lightweight, durable, and breathable. They have 6 pockets. I...

    Chaps or chainsaw pants?

    It seems like most folks prefer the pants in lieu of the chaps. I understand the benefits of always having your protection and not “forgetting” to properly suit up. I enjoy the chaps because I can take them off. I don’t climb with chaps but always use them on the ground. I love being able to...

    Credit Cards/PayPal payments.

    There’s quite a few folks who have to pay with a card to afford it. I’d say build it in based on laws of averages (credit card transaction is 3%, 50% use a card, raise costs by 1.5%) Some charge the customer the 3% directly but I hear from a good source that’s illegal. Doesn’t stop many from...

    What to do ?

    Thank you Ryan. I did notice the larger specimen had some tip die back on the side of the 2 smaller trees. This is what got me thinking about this situation. One of the 2 juveniles is the same species. I’m aware that trees communicate through their root systems and usually help each other...

    What to do ?

    I often come across this situation. Should the smaller 2 specimens be removed due to competition and possible strangulation?

    Voted. You’re at 162 now. I really wanted to see your video but 2 minutes went by with nothing and the ADHD kicked in.

    What’s up Chris? I check in here quite frequently to see if you posted on this thread. Many of us do. What drugs do you use? Is it mostly alcohol?

    I think you’re right about the age. When in AA newly sober, I gravitated towards the older (65+) Christian men as sponsors and mentors. I figured they had much wisdom and more patience. It’s usually the way it goes. Some were still off da chain though ;)

    It’s always hard to apply spiritual principles for me too. It goes against the flesh. Other people or the Holy Spirit have to remind me. Good call on the accountability partner. I’ve not been able to have one that lasts. I’m jealous (in a good way) of that type of relationship. I’m happy that...

    I’m done

    Evo’s post reminded me of this verse. I keep it in the front of my mind. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for...

    Because you haven’t done anything to move towards peace. I say that with love, not condemnation. Love is usually best felt when it is given. Start small maybe, buy a strangers coffee for instance. Do something around the house that’s not part of your usual responsibility to help out. Show love

    You care and so do we. Your family cares. God cares. I care. Many people care.

    Helicopter removal

    Hopefully the link will work. It was amazing to see a black hawk being used in lieu of a crane. Kowhai Treecare is the channel name on YouTube. It’s their latest video.
