Stop bragging with your sexy crane picks. You might get yourself a new climber if you're not careful. Crane work makes me a happy tree man.

A buddy of mine is getting married in September at his parents' property. I spent a half day deadwooding a couple of red maples and finished the day in this willow. Beauty tree. Second time up in it, it's been about 8 years since I first climbed it.

Sweet tree. Looks to be in great condition for a willow. Where are you located?

This property is located about 45 minutes south of Ottawa. It's a beautiful tree, we don't get too many that size around here so it was a pleasure to climb.

So far have a day and a half on it. Full day for me today. Another climber half day yesterday. Iv got the top and 3 big leads left Probably a half day on it tomorrow. The little crane that could is really doing awesome with it. Still a ton of work. One of my bigger take downs in a long time. It's in awful shape. Poor ole girl.

wee removal I started on this week.

Steve Connally · Jul 23, 2016

Finished up today. The logs at the street are just limb wood. Amazing we did this with a 17t crane.

Logs, mill wood from the branches.

Steve awesome job on that one. Would have loved to come out and see you guys today. My girl wanted to stay put and rest up from all the traveling we've done the past couple of days. Big removals I'm used to, (well maybe not that big lol), but I have issues with walking horizontal limbs. I destroyed my hip in '92 which gives me balancing problems. I'm definitely not used to the methods demonstrated buy some of the guys on this forum. I wouldn't be very efficiently productive in limb walking or prunings. 90% of the time I'm doing removals and always wearing spikes. With the crane work on a horizontal limb I'm ready at the butt and a 2nd guy would choke off the tip then repel down. Sometimes I feel like I should hang up my saddle. The body aches a little more every year. The new saddle definitely helps with the hip though. I thank you for posting about the MCRS.

Rigging dead limbs down over the house and deck! No ground man!

Customer called me saying the reduction of the silver maple (spec of 2-3") was not worth the $500. Not to mention having to rig every piece off on the one side over the house. Went back and got paid by the pound instead!

Why the solo work? Little unsafe that way. Be careful brother! Getting hurt sucks and sucks worse when no ones around for help.

You can read my post in the job section and it may shed some light on the solo work. But me working alone is not much different then the working with some of the ground crews around. Thanks for your concern
