Ambushed

[Stihlmadd]

Nice work. I always love finishing shit somebody else started. At least(as far as I could tell) they didn't cut out the tie in and main rigging points, that is the worst.

Hi Court,
I am with you 100% on that one .
I once rolled up to a job a fireman started in his spare time , omg nearly cried when I took in what he had left me to work with.

Been ambushed before as well. I went to one as the power company was leaving. I told the guy "hell you already ripped the main power down you should've finished the tree quickly". His climber was tied in half way up and said it was unsafe to go any higher because of a split in the trunk. Tied it up with marls and a half hour later left them with a tree on the ground in a giant tangled mess. Wouldn't of made a disaster but I bid that emergency removal and lost it to them for about what I charged them.

funny some times how the wheel turns in the tree game treebilly,
I have seen a lot of those types of senarios go down over the years and been called to sort out more than a few.

this is what I found under the trunk after getting a call to finish a tree after the climber had banged himself with the 200.
he is ok.
thats contract climbing for you.

craned out the main timber with a 16 tonner

16, really? Was that a typo? Because whether you're talking long ton, short ton or tonne, that machine looked like at least a 35t machine, what with twin boom cylinders and all.
