more kboom

I dont think anyone heard my whimpering with the chainsaw and chipper running.

It was allright.

Way to go Mark. Because you had the courage to post that video, I think you knew very well every mistake you made.

Sometimes I like to talk about my mistakes to reinforce what not to do in the future. Nut'n wrong with that.

I liked the 80's music mix on your first video! I was taking me back...

But, I do have a question. How come you did ask for the wires to be insulated?

 

[allmark]

Jamin,
They dont actually insulate the wires although there is some added protection by putting the rubber snakes on them. I was able to keep a good distance between the boom and the wires so I did not see the need + I was not in danger of personally swinging in to the wires myself.

Gotcha. You know what you are doing.

 

[cuttenwolf]

how long/high is that crane? I like the extension!

 

[allmark]

Straight in the air it is 127' straight oout 115'

 

[cuttenwolf]

two foot longer than the "big" crane in the local area here which is also a straight stick. the one you have seems more practical in the house picture. the distance seems maximized.

Here is a job Im working on now. Sorry for the poor quality my camera is acting up.

Wow Mark, that's a good size oak!

Nice pictures. What did you do with the wood?

 

[allmark]

Dumped it at a fill lot.
