    Let the head swelling begin. LOL. If you want a few extra copies for the grandkids, just text me Devon & I'll mail them to you.

    At least (for the homeowner) it looks like it missed the main house structure. Window, deck and cantilevered portion of the gable roof, yes, but that's all relatively easy. I know a lot of people that live in fear of a large tulip failure such as this.

    Chipper size for crane crew

    We do crane removals all the time with our 15" chippers, and rarely are they much of an issue. Like Tom said, the size of the drop zone (or the radius from the center pin) is usually the limiting factor in the size pieces we can take. And yes, we chip everything that easily fits thru it. But...

    Stupid homeowner questions

    The chainsaws weren't running yet, but the truck and chipper were set up on the tree victim and the bucket was headed up towards it. "Are you the driveway guys?" Yeah, the boss watches the job from the bucket so he can tell us what spots need more asphalt!"

    Stupid homeowner questions

    What are some of the winners you've heard? Here's mine from today: Climbed and removed a previously topped ~20" red maple in a backyard. The retirement aged homeowners watched with great interest, but you could tell they were concerned we might scuff their threadbare lawn, damage something or...

    Rigging Rope

    You are aware that if you regularly switch directions that it runs thru the Porty (coming up on the right vs. coming up on the left) that it will prevent the hockles? When I'm running it you'll hear me saying to myself "up on the right..." every time I load it just to keep it straight in my...

    Need opinion on what big saw to buy.

    Speaking of, one of those long bolts that goes THRU the oil tank on our 395 walked itself out the other week while I had it up in the bucket. Didn't even realize it until much later, so now my right pant leg and boot are fully waterproofed. Joys. Seriously, who designs a bolt to pass thru an...

    15 years of doing tree work and had my first property damage today.

    Used the bucket to rig a good sized cottonwood down to a flopable totem pole. Had the notch off just a smidge, tree went exactly where the notch was pointed and grazed a fire hydrant. Hydrant had been dead vertical when we started. It was about 10° out of dead vertical when we cleaned up and...

    Double sling pick.

    I do. Too easy to get it hooked onto branches when maneuvering thru the canopy otherwise.

    I understand what you want but..

    Sent to prune a river birch directly in front of the lady's house. "I want this really, REALLY thin. But I don't want to be able to see the house through it." Umm, I can already see the house through it. "But I need it REALLY thinned out." So, I just gave the tree what it needed (deadwooding...
