Today's Job

[Mark Chisholm]

Funny story too, since it was warming up that day, by the time I felled the trunk it was so soft that I splattered the house with mud and lawn. You can see a little of it in that stump picture on the white house

Did this "crane" job for a friend last month. Called my friend SJTreeguy to get some ideas for weight since I've never worked with hot tubs before.

Been bugging my bucket operator to take a pic the other way. Turned out pretty good

Big removal I did this week. Poor home addition planning led to this big girls demise. The entire grade around this tree was lowered by about 2 feet sending the tree into decline.

Me looking a little grumpy at the start of the job

 

[pctree]

thats a big mofo right there, nice to have a bucket and a crane. Never tried it myself.

 

[Steve Connally]

Tom did you brush it out with the bucket or do the whole thing with the crane?

 

[Tom F]

We only used the bucket to cut a few hazards out of the tree before the crane arrived since we were swinging everything over the house, lines, and neighbors prized magnolia. Rest of the tree was done climber/crane. There was no room for error on this tree. 2 of the main leads were inches from the gutters. Luckily I'm hooked up with the best crane operator in our area IMO.
