I cant imagine ANY tree taking 2 weeks to remove.

No offense.

I can't imagine why someone would light himself on fire.

Its not as bad as you think. Its actually less painful than reading most of the shat that is spewed here at the buzz.

I couldn't agree with you more

Hahahaha. Sweet. I already like you more than most members here. Good luck with the job if you get it, and may you all be safe!

Who is going to pay IF one of those services drops gets ripped off the house, OR worse, you have a pole go over?

So there IS a back alley, is the back lot fenced?

[/ QUOTE ]

probably the insurance co will but he hasn't ripped one off yet so I doubt if he will here either. who cares about the service; what about the house, ask me about that next.

there isn't an alley but there was a cute yipping dog that was glad to see us.
 
really, it looks pretty straightforward. It looks like a lot of work, but nothing outrageous. Plenty of high central tie-in and rigging points, nice and stout. The dead leader in the central is kind of a bummer... hell, it almost looks fun.
 
1 tree costing more than 5k with a crane is a monster and a rarity. this tree is a monster, but depedning on the setup, and seeing it in person........can't imagine it costing more than 5k.
 
forgive me, I have only rarely gotten the opportunity to work with a crane... form the pics, it looks like a crane and a climber could have that whole tree pieced out in less than 6 hours... is that accurate?

If we get it I will ask the boss if we could sub it out to you. I will pay your air fare-especially for the way home

Yeah I did a silver maple bigger than that with 6 cables in it in under 4 hours about a month ago. It was about 90' tall, 110-130' dripline and about 8' dbh.

Now you've done it; little doubt someone else will say they have lowered a 350' redwood last week in 2 hours

good night!

I haven't seen too many crane accessible single tree jobs costing more than 5k. unless they are in Boston and we are shutting down streets and hiring cops permits etc to do the jobs. say this tree is @ 100' radius what would you charge?




Id gladly take the work, it will cost you more to transport our crane than to do the tree! though. get it for 9k, and have a n identical setup to what we run standing by. we'll come down do the job for you and pay for our own flight back. good deal?

have a good night 123, we'll see you again in a few months!?

Only having those 2 pictures to go from, its too hard to say. To many unseen variables.

But we don't own cranes like you do. Noone here does. We rent by the hour. So the crane cost in itself can easily eat up half the cost of any job. Did one earlier this year where the crane cost alone was over 6k. Road closure, and signage additional to that. At that rate, feel free to guess what we'd fetch for a tree of that size.

Id say 9k looks to be a bit low even. Got one on the books for near twice that.

it could be more fun if treebuzz wasn't such a war zone. Nice weapon Speelyei; I can shoot as well as I lower limbs. I have a 380.

I was thinking you were wrong BB, then I searched my mind and discovered that is correct for my state as well. I don't think I've done a single tree with a crane where the cost was over 5k. Some have been a little close, but not over 5.

I've done more climbing w/rigging single tree removals that bring more money than the crane accessible removals. I like it when I look at something that no one can get a bucket truck and/or crane to and there will be lots of rigging. I smile as I write up the estimate because i know that most of the competitors will just throw a huge price on it and figure they then don't have to worry about getting it.
