    Municipal Foresters?

    Wow. "Try to limit to..." I'd think it was requisite to contract with the city. Would your city's legal department side with you? There are several volumes of articles and books in the ISA and TCIA bookstores on tree care and construction (development). You're probably the biggest voice for...

    The Best Tree Service in AR..............OH Boy

    Re: The Best Tree Service in AR..............OH Bo I found this summer's addition to my climbing apparatus was a camelback. When the 2 liters of diluted gatorade stuff was finished it was time for a thorough cool-down break. Whether 15 minutes in the tree or climb down and back. The heat is...

    Cat Rescue

    Just a thought-- the callers I get have usually called other resources like fire department and humane society groups and they report being nearly humiliated by the turn-downs. Dan's on the right track about having the site. We do our best to provide the rescue. Anybody want to take the next...

    TreeFlex D-Rings

    3/6" wide tie wraps. They're so cheap, when they blow out, snap on another.

    Bradford pear trees topped need some Advice

    Hmm, How about a redirection in the grove? Maybe a commitment to removing some of these behemoths and replanting, phasing in a more suitable species. On our campus we consider Bradfords, amongst other trees to be short to intermediate term lifespan. They get removed and replaced to adapt to...

    Minnesota Ex Pats...but anyone is welcome

    That's right. A family vacation about captures it. Nostalgia is healthy-- like looking at the wake. I recall being given a pearl of wisdom: It is good to look at your past, vulgar to stare. Nostalgia must be when your eyes blink. My daughter had an assignment for one of her classes about...

    Minnesota Ex Pats...but anyone is welcome

    Took my daughters up to Minneapolis when they were 4 or 5; around 1999. Part of the grand tour was to get to Krymczhek's Deli (forgive my spelling) on E. Hennepin. The native Polish was still spoken by folks my age behind the counter. Same display cases and honeycomb black and white tile in the...

    Minnesota Ex Pats...but anyone is welcome

    I was disappointed to find out that the Seven Corners only has five. Its the convergence of seven ethnic neighborhoods. Didn't realize Theo. Wirth Park was a golf course until almost 10-- a perfectly good waste of some great sliding and later tubing. Mom and I used to go to practically every...

    What do you bring on estimates?

    For my sidework, I bring my bid kit, but repellant, solo gear, polesaw, pole pruner, and a small saw. Should also be toting small binoculars, laser pointer, diameter tape, and a diagnostic tapping tool (thanks to Guy LeBlanc for getting me started on this). Most of my clients I already know...

    192T Question

    Easier starting? Wow. Picking a chainsaw is creating a relationship. You buy it from a local dealer, they're more welcome to support you. Like the aforementioned, check out the Huskie. Both H & S have a different feel and balance, which become transparent after a few days use. If you've...

    clean cut crews.

    There's something about continuity. I've observed workers on campus at one time or another in full uniform, but tails hanging out while others wearing blue pants and a logo-less T-shirt. Line 'em up, something's out of order with one of them. Hmm, which one? The lawn maint guys that stroll...

    700 storks killed as tree falls

    Pretty sad. Koyaanisqatsi ;) From the headline, this could result in the opposite effect of the baby boom that followed nine months after a Con-Edison power outage.

    Saw lanyards???

    The only time I put a lanyard on my Sugoi or Zubat is Work Climb event at TCC. Can you afford to drop your saw? Sure, a tear-away lanyard will still give you quite a tug before it performs its second raison d'etre, but that might slow the saw down enough for your groundie to register...
