    Tips for Getting Eye Splice Through Friction Saver

    That works on a rope with out an eye. I just tie a bowline to the eye and puller through. The knot is a bit of a bitch to untie.

    Public Pole Sawing

    I worked on a silver maple a few weeks ago that had been repeatedly molested by the homeowners pole saw for well over two decades. He would proudly tell me how he used to work on this tree but it is getting to big and how he is getting to old, yada yada yada. I really thought about taking pics...

    Homeowner and Ladder....

    I have offered to help more than one bone head armed with a sawzall and ladder for free over the years only to have the bone head refuse my help on the grounds that they knew what they were doing.

    Saw this on the News this morning. (Luke Glines.)

    I cant say that I have a favorite tree, but the big Fremonts are up on the top of my list. And yes I do like the smell of them. Growing up on the Rio Grande river we burned a lot of cotton wood in the stove. The smell of cotton wood smoke takes me back to when I was a kid. I spent a lot of time...

    Thank you woodpecker.

    Habitat Tree!?!? Is that what I get to call the 50 ft spar that I left in a guys back yard because he didnt have the money to take it all the way to the ground? I get to drive by it at least twice a day. Now instead of griping about a cheap customer I can cheerfully say, "hey, check out Harv's...

    Employee doing pills

    If the company name and phone number is on the side of the truck all it takes is a phone call from a "concerned citizen" saying that the driver of the truck was seen snorting something in the bucket truck and swerving all over the road. End of discussion. There is no room for that in society in...
