back-guying decayed leaner for removal

and finally, a done deal. glad to see this thing in pieces on the ground. no damage done to sprinkler system, new landscape, rockery, house. came in way under bid despite taking lots of time to talk about rigging. this job was an excellent learning experience for me and my crew, and new skills/equipment will stand us in good stead on an upcoming maple removal in seriously tight quarters. thanks for reading everyone!
climb safe.

Kathy,

Thanks for sharing, Glad to hear that all went well.

Did Kristian offer up words of encouragemnet and qoutes from Germany while you were aloft?

I enjoyed his words in Windemere.
 
Hey boss lady,

Pretty cool removal, looks like it went oh so smooth, very impressive. Tell chris that he looks pretty cool in his new pants!
Look forward to seeing your next big removal on Treebuzz.

Kathy,
Were the guy lines tight at the beginning and if so did they slacken as weight was removed?

hi rd,
yes, we tensioned the heck out of them with a 5-1, to the extent that the tree started to stand back up a little before we did any cutting. one of the lines, the one to the deodar, slacked a bit and was re-tensioned once or twice.

hey eric,
kristian was great to have on the crew - another head to scratch, plus he trained the guys on whipping the 5-1 off and on the line pretty quick. walked me through my first spiderlegged limbs too - big ones! very cool. weird feeling to pretension the rope and then see something so huge lift so quietly into the rigging.

hey bennie! welcome to the buzz - hope to see more of you here! i think chris already knows how bada$$ he looks in his sips - he hasn't taken them off since xmas

Thanks for posting the pics, Kathy. Again, it was great to see you in Windermere. Cool job, looks like it went smooth. Are you grinding the stump? Could you look for the extensiveness of the rot that way? We just ground a pin oak stump that was attached to a tree that fell over. The entire lower root system was sooty colored and decayed.

Kristian, I guess we're going to have to get a big tree for you so that you'll stay in Louisville sometime. We'll try to schedule a hairy leaner for you, say, March 11 (you are coming to the splicing workshop, right? What about you, Kathy?)

Cheers.

yeah, i wondered about that too but the customer hasn't asked for stumpgrinding. i may give him a deal on it just to satisfy my own curiosity.

and thanks zac! nice to have it in the past :)
 
Hey Champ, looks like things went according to plan. The angles on the 'legs' are nothing to worry about. I'm glad the 'legs' worked well. You Rock Girl.

Kristian, you sorta rock. I hope you were cheering the Champ on! Come on, come on, plenty of time.
