Never seen this before.

Great quality pics.

In picture 4 the guy on the left looks bored and the guy on the right looks like he's fishing for crabs

I disagree Tom, I think the building has a certain rustic charm that many people try to replicate in certain yuppy 'country' towns, but they only succeed in building a pale imitation which looks contrived and quasi-rustic
 
Man, you're on a roll this morning!

Man grover, that almost sounds like it came right out of the Home and Garden channel. Can you fit "Whimsical" in there?

What happens when the roots undermining the foundation start to rot and collapse? Be interesting to know how they plan to deal with that.

If the trees gotta come down, then they gotta come down, but what's with the two man chainsaw operation from the high lift?

Seems like one guy cuts while the other holds the kerf open. When they get all the way through the round, the bar sticks out in the direction that they want to push off the round. One hold the saw as the round is tipped, tilting the saw. When the round starts to fall from one pushing it, the other guy has the saw to prevent it from falling.

Isnt that what they make saw lanyards for? You trying to come up with a plausible explanation makes it seem even more ridiculous than it began with.

Wouldnt a guy working on spurs need a guy on his shoulders to hold the saw and push stuff too then?

That cracked me up. I does look like he is tossing the saw to grapple and snag the a pot float.

I don't like my saws dropping off on to there tether. But that's just me. I cant think that does the saw a hole lot of good.

I'm just giving my interpretation of what I'm seeing, not suggestions on how it should be done.

I don't use a saw lanyard to drop my saw onto every cut. I use it as insurance that if I drop the saw, that it will not take the deep 6. Othertimes, with a top handle, I can drop the saw, catch the lanyard, and lower it down to full extension (maybe 15-20 times in climbing most every work day for 2.5 years). Generally, I drop the top handle saw from shoulder height, catching the large ring next to the saw to hook to my saddle before continuing to deal with the brush, if need two hands to maneuver the brush or wood.

What other explanation is there for why there seems to be a two man saw show?
 
Who knows...Doesn't even look like a tree service. We seldom rent Genie style lifts...and usually have groundies to clean up and chip as we go...or at least not make huge tangled piles under the tree.
 
Ok, I have to ask is there a problem with tying the saw off to the basket? We rent a Genie TZ50 every so often and we always have our saws on lanyards attached to the basket. Safety issues?
 
emr:
Ever had a saw get pinched in a kerf of a heavy log and pulled down with it as gravity takes over? Good cutting technique can help avoid it, but this is the reason for breakaway saw lanyards which I don't trust anyway so the saw is attached to me by a #100 test keychain biner. Prolly a good idea if it's tied to your lift too, wouldn't want to shockload the platform at all.

everyone else:
Don't dog on those guys too bad. It looks like the climber knows how to use ropes and wears a hardhat so that puts him in about the 60th percentile as far as tree guys go - above average.

I'm more upset about the loss of some great trees in favor of some crappy buildings - shoulda been the other way around. That town needs a carbon abuse fine.
 
Thats what I was afraid of happening Raven. All of our saw lanyards are breakaway or have a weak link as part of them.
 
check out pic 5/5 again, the hard hat guy's face has disappeared, the whole damn looks things like the Twilight Zone
