Drinksloe, thank you for the edu!

Im not sure what the 8k quote was for cause I wasnt there for it. They had a crew, multiple climbers, and i belive they had some sort of skyline set up in mind, way the land owner explained. If u look at the peak of the 2 story house, its at the base of the tree, the house is basically in a log shoot below. Lots of massive branches, quite a few directly over the house. The ones that cleared the house on that side still needed rigging, too long, too much topography and such. One imperfect cut could be bad. Had to construct a speedline kit, steel screw biners, and 3/8 bull line w a sliding double fishermans to cinch the beaner. Worked great. Plus theyre hot pink.

As far as a US forum, i figured expertise/experience in felling cuts covering naughtty experiences should be good anywhere. Plus my first response on the american forum was not worth awknowleging. You guys got me covered tho, thank you.

Mr Hewn, idt I said anything about ‘back branches’, and i feel ive covered this other stuff. 

80,000 rupies, a pretend detective searching for a cat named Simon, and I can hold my breath for approx 7 seconds. 

Sorry about the massive carbon foot print 🇺🇸, ill get back to yall with an update when i make it back to that tree. Mucho graci everyone! 🦄

I'd tell ur mate to get a 2nd and 3rd quote, esp of more forestry type cutters( fallers) rather than ARB contractors.

Be a hell of a work sectioning and rigging that down and if a squad of boys to pay.

 

I think ur asking for big trouble felling a tree that size with little experience off big timber.

How much is his house worth???

Great it goes well but u only have to look on u tube to see clowns demolishing houses with trees far smaller than that.

Even experienced cutters have trees going wrong, it happens if u cut enough.
