Typical inner city bullshit. 32" dbh ghetto Palm (ailanthus altissima) about 6 inches from a cinder block wall in the back corner of a busy lumber yard. Oh yeah throw in a big communications bundle for fun too.

What better thing to tie off to when working on a badly decayed, skinny ass tree of heaven then ANOTHER badly decayed, skinny ass tree of heaven?! Sometimes you just can't win.

My favorite type of work , pruning a large Norway Maple + installing 3 branch saver cables. Feel good after that...

Sith padawan, discovering the power of the force when SRS return limb walking. Also doing well with the double-bar saw.

Hedge on top, dead pine branch, dead sticks, then ~12 18' logs from four 18-22" dead sweetbay magnolia and one 22" dead maple underneath. Full can, no resets.

elevate and thin 4 Tilia that crowd a 1700's town hall building in Kuressaare, Estonia. The national historic commission advised whacking them and replacing with elms. The planner/client did not like the idea; straight off she showed us pics of the trees from 1925. Did the work July 4th which was kind of fun.

Much less dramatic than removal would have been, but o so

much more satisfying. btw, resizing pics would make this thread much more readable!

Any time; I like the looks of that Montreal maple job! Good to put cable in the outside stem of a bad fork.

Buckets been down so I've been climbing much more than usual, another Ash removal.

Zero access, couldn't even get a spider lift back to it. Had to hulk everything out by hand across 150 feet of yard gently uphill to the street.

Climbing dead trees is my true passion.. /sarcasm

I don't know why I always find the ones that no mechanical can reach.

Humid as hell yesterday, but I can't argue with the views....

I've been out west a few times. Most folks out that way don't understand the effects of humidity on the right coast. One evening after dinner in Phoenix, came out of the restaurant and said we would roll down the windows in my truck and turn off the AC because the temperature had dropped and it felt quite comfortable. Then the radio DJ announced it was 105°F. Felt like 80° here in southeast VA.
