General Tree pics

[RC0]

Some pics of a job on Thus, large white oak dismantle over house. Didnt get a before pic. About 110 feet roughly. The first two are after half the crown has been taken out. Done by 7 pm!

 

Ben nice work, long hot day i bet. The house looks about 35ft to the top of the gable, so your tree would've been at least 3 times the height of the house to reach 110. And you'll be using at the very least a 60m (200ft) lowering line right, probably need the same size climbing line to reach without having to use 2 just to reach the ground? Ben you wouldn't be exagerating slightly with that 110 estimate now would you?

Reg, thanks The buckets reach is 75 feet, so we guesstimated the tree height.

So what do you do, climb out of the bucket for the high stuff?

 

Rob has some nice equipment there

We managed to rig all of this from the bucket. Maybe it was more like 100 ft... So you done any interesting stuff up in BC?

Conifers mostly Ben, Douglas and Grand fir especially. Lots of spurring, my pole gaffs are almost redundant. More SRT access in just a few weeks than what Ive ever done previously. Not sure if intersting is the right word....different for sure!

Hey Carl, after loading all the wood and the clear up it was all wrapped up by 7. A tiring day all in, got paid extra

Few Pics from Today's job. Two Sycamores and a Norway Maple in a beer garden that had shed a few limbs recently and were to come out.

 

Andy (Treequip) climbing, with Brett (Buzzsurgeon) and me on the floor.

 

Photos haven't come out great but should give you an idea.

 

First one was on the floor before 9am, second shortly after and the last (biggest) before midday

 

Some ringing up and a bit more chipping to do tomorrow and then a lot of splitting

Bit of a challenge for this job, limited access for anything other than foot traffic, at the bottom of the gulley is a bridlepath. The windblown siccie is obstructing the path and has to be cleared. The regen is approx 40feet tall, so it has been down for a fair while, and as can be seen the sides of the gulley is fairly steep. To the left of the pics at the top of the bank is an 11kv feed, so we couldnt use anything to crane it up, winching would be far too slow, so my mate used his 5ton Volvo and we chained the poles and skidded tha up the bank with the back actor. Hard to get any kind of perspective, the main (horizontal) trunk is about 2foot dia, the root plate is a tad large.
