boat dock removal

[johnmeiszner]

These guys wanted this oak outta there cuz they feared it would fall on their boats.

 

[johnmeiszner]

its a single leader, but it was the first tree i had been up in almost a year so I was nervous.

 

[johnmeiszner]

Threw small limbs and roped bigger ones on the way up

Is it the camera angle, or is that trunk section landing on the dock/walkway?

They live in central Illinois. I live by Chicago.

 

[johnmeiszner]

No, its in the corner of the grass.

Nicely done.
To me looks like one of those sweet jobs where you are just happy to have the opportunity to remove the tree, doesn't seem much like work, and thats why I love this job.

Yep. I agree. There are those times where the location of a job will influence our attitude.

Mayer, you live in Paradise IMO. I lived in Colorado Springs for a couple years as a kid, and I still miss it. I'd move back to Co if I had a good steady job to go to.

Wow thats too funny, I did something almost identical late this summer, except it was a 70' white pine, standing dead for a year, and girdled a third of the way up by cables and chain they had used year after year to hoist their dock out of the lake. It was on Lake Winapasaukee in NH. Was fun, it was on an island so they hauled us and all our gear out on a boat, may be doing some snowmobile-access removals at the same site this winter. :-D
