Yah Steve - retaining moisture in the heartwood and no serious cracks yet.
that gave me the ring of confidence I needed to aggressively attack this one.
(still a few interesting moments tho)
Thankyou Hoowasat,
I am like the Dropbear of myth - all fangs and claws and fur
;)
I like to tell people find me a job that occupies me both mentally and physically as this one and pays me as well as tree work does ,
then I will go and do that.
until then as far as I am concerned this game is...
thirty feet up in a peppercorn tree, I turned around and there it was hook end over a limb , took it home and gave it the wire brush treatment and viola good as new.
Thankyou Sgriff,
no actual weights for you ,
the max lift capacity at the start of the job was 2.8 ton / 6172 lb
I had the crane out at max boom and was down to 700 kg / 1543.236 lb over the warehouse roof.
I maxed out the lift on the trunk sections below the roof of the tilt slab warehouse...
