Rigging at Japanese Shrines

Not really a story and no thread. I had been introduced to them at the fire department. They are designed to stabilize vehicles at a scene. I have used them several times to stabilize logs on houses to get the work done. The photo series was about not having to grind that nasty uprooted stump while up in the air. Took about an hour, but worth the time to get the stump down. Grinding it up like that would have taken all day and been a pretty hazardous situation.

Since I bought them, I have seen them in catalogs for tree stuff. Simple, but they work.

Only problem with them is that the jack portion isn't really all that good for lifting. We have blown the pins out of one of the jacks already.

What happens if you do hit the shrine? English

Sorry I couldn't resist that.

Administration in Japan is p r o t r a c t e d to say the least, the first scaffolding quote has to be discussed and accepted or rejected before my rope quote can be given. I'm not sure exactly how far far it has got. I'm hoping for the autumn. I'll let ya know and for anybody thats going I'll be at the ISA conference, we can natter about this and other jobs there. I'll be the one standing next to a japanese man!

Thanks

Mr Kobayashi called,, it was his job that I priced a rope solution for...the leaning Juniper became untenable as the budget has been put toward a scaffolding solution on the upright Sugi. As the footpath connects a city park to the shrine permission to close it has been refused, instead they will isolate the Sugi's scaffolding with plastic sheeting and maybe even cover the footpath,fear of a walker 'getting a woodchip in the eye'. I'm bemused.....and glad that it's not me in that plastic tube hell. I'll put up some photo's when I get them.
