Pretty straighforward removal. The only tricky part was working a long spready stem over a house with no alternate TIP. The stem over the house was getting kind of punky which is the reason for all the ropes. The yellow bull rope is clovehitched midline on the bad stem and then tied to the two other stems as guys. The blue is the speedline, tied on the first stem, redirected on the second stem and then up to the bad one and back down to a truck. I did this just to keep the rope angles wide and reduce the loading on the bad stem. Worked pretty well.
Too bad about the 2 lost videos. GRRRRR!
