Bad Day

[Eric_E]

I tried to lay this one parallel to the road but something went wrong. Any suggestions for next time?

That's easy ... hire a professional!

Eric,

Is this another one of your bad days Bartlett was called in to fix the job, not do the damage.

I'd like to do this to a building that was being demolished at least once in my career.

I could not pull up your attachment. A few years ago I got to drop a large Cottonwood about 35" onto a 35 year old brick ranch that was fun took a bit longer to clean up but was well worth it.

You've gotta see the pics. Edit the url back to the utilityarborists part and go into Photos.

Are you kiddin' ERIC...if not...do any of us need to say anymore??
Weak...

Thanks Tom. Such a small diameter doing that much damage. The cottonwood I dropped was much larger and did not go through. It was brick.

reminds me of the story of the three little pigs, brick is the choice for me. I saw a similar pic in Austin Hydro Gas (my favorite chain saw shop) here in austin TX. the man dropped a big tree on his truck, the stem crushed the cabto about three feet thick. The man was actually smiling for the pic. When I inquired if he had felled the tree himself John, the shop owner said yes and it was his truck. Any locals here in Austin should make a point to see this pic, I will try to get a copy and post it

this must be a joke, i mean there are so many obvious things that should have been done... this has to be a gag. that tree is the work of joe homeowner.

I'm not sure of the whole story but I believe that it was a state forestry job. The house and stable were abandoned and were intentionaly targeted.

 

[Eric_E]

Here's the stable.
