MEDIA COVERAGE!!

 

http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-2181...,3798513.story

 

Channel 13 was there filming and interviewing for a couple hours....The segment ran.....no mention of my company name.....but they may add to it and run it again. For now, only the story is up...I hope the news segment that aired will be linked to soon...they did say they may add to i'''''''''''''''''''''t and run it again.

 

I shot about 14 gig of photos and video...then drove out to Pete's and filmed him milling a log...which turned out to be a birch that we'd given him last spring. Didn't have time to get the big crooked maple logs on the mill. Then, I ran the vid files down to the station, but on a flash drive, and she didn't have anyone there that could take them off the card.....waste of time...though they want the footage.

 

Cowboy Dave had the tree brushed out in 2 hours or so...we had close to an hour break before Mike showed to crane the sticks.

 

Another bid was $3800. We did it for $2200..crane fees $300, labor $875.....we were done by 2 pm.....Reckon I'm a happy camper.

 

They did air me making a butt cut with the 13 horsepower 3120...

 

 

Gonna be a while before I get my photos edited.....and the video is HD....I have to build a new computer (Intel i7 processor needed) in order to edit the video, even to view it properly...and my puter is a dual core AthlonX64 3800....with two video cards....

I posted this at the TreeHouse some time ago....:

 

This cool old maple, 21 feet around, was big when my clients moved in 56 years ago. Sadly, they were recently taken to the cleaners by some unscrupulous hacks who cut off some of the dead wood, took four pickup loads to the dump, and charged them $1700. We will probably remove it, as it is declining and presents some hazard, but only for $2200, as it's quite easy, versus another bid of $3800. We will salvage the lower wood for my craftsmen, and can get that craned for no charge. We'll leave the bottom 6 feet or so in memory.

 

Our old friend OX will do the arb report, now required to remove an exceptional tree, under Seattle's new tree ordinance. It will rate an 11 or 12 on the 12 point scale......
