Today's speedline pine removal went well, at least until I started zipping trunk sections down the line from 80 feet up.
I landed all the brush on top of the wooden platform the client built over his pool with shoring and one inch plywood nailed to raised 4x6's well above the pools coping. the client owns a construction outfit, and had done a good job. It was a very sturdy dance floor!
It stood up well to the first three trunks sections. But the fourth was too much, and plywood came unhinged and flew. Not far, with no damage to anything but the plywood platform.
So there's a 60 foot stick left, and the platform ain't gonna work for the remaining wood, it's served it's purpose fairly well.
I had a fairly large crew with 6 men excluding myself, three of whom are soul brothers, one of whom I've known for over twenty years. Three of the crew are climbers, including my friend.
Black climbers are somewhat rare, but Charlie knows his stuff pretty well.
Should have pics and vids of this job this weekend I hope.
I llike working with soul brothers, and love their music. I had this song running through my head all day!
