I think you're gonna need a bit more than a wee 6" chipper to remove....

... the house.....

Oroboros · Dec 13, 2014

I think he's telling you to be careful with the 6" chipper in the sense that you might kill it rather than it might hurt you!

JontreeHI · Dec 13, 2014

Red brick and glass are OK to chip
8 penny nails are ok, nothing metal or concrete larger than a quarter

Oroboros · Dec 13, 2014

See, I was right!

Ha! here is what we are dealing with.....

Is that $120 per man hr or per crew?

Daniel · Dec 15, 2014

sounds like a two man crew @ 60 each

mpatch · Dec 15, 2014

That's pretty cheap.

JontreeHI · Dec 15, 2014

Emergency work, 120 a man

Some more fun, a strong south wind

I don't see the problem. You should be able to remove that house with relative ease.

How much will you give me for my most valuable pine log?

evo · Dec 16, 2014

Jon, you gotta have a talk with the boss, a 6" chipper for that? It's a very funny looking birch too.... Wow, good to see your having fun down there too... I think I had last Tuesday off in the past 3 weeks, between the wet instantly turning into snow thanksgiving weekend (breaking trees) and now this, we are hammered! http://www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/news/285672271.html

No, it's not a Black Walnut Tree. It's a highly valuable Pine log.

Eric, that house was easy. The tree did the work for us. The other one was tough.
Jesse, looks like some crazy action up there. We sent two crews to deal w the birch, then found this around the corner. Bunch more calls today actually.
The spar is still up. If it doesn't finish barberchairing, the butt log should be great for veneer!
