The crane job that wasn\'t.

Here's an Oak that we tested with the resistograph that ended up as a removal. When I saw it I said "two hour crane job- cake". My brother said "yup". I was sent there today with no crane? I looked in surprise, but knew that it could be done without it. It would just be harder.

Here's the view that shows the biggest pain- two leads over the roof.

It's also surrounded by concrete that would crack if a notch fell wrong.

Here's the view at almost 11:30 ( and no I didn't take a coffee break /forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif).

Nice job Mark. Too bad there weren't any pics of the rigging. It looks like it went well.

You know, my brother took a few during the removal. I only have the ones I took- when I was slacking off.

I had two blocks and one pig tail in the tree. I moved back and forth with one or another to create a backup that was behind the main support. Does that make sense? I'll try to get his pics.

That redirect thingie he had fabbed up last year.

It's actually made for a quick- block attachment. I like to use it as a quick re-direct myself. Very quick, but more friction than a block. Spencer?

Nice shots, Mark.

Why was the kubota there?

Re: The crane job that wasn\'t.

We did 4 jobs on this street and two of them needed it. I used it here to push all of the broken limbs and wood out of the street after I crashed it. This way it only took 30 secs to re-open the road. Plus it is good to use for the hunks of wood used to brace the walks and load grindings.
