big silver maple removal

[dadio]

Giving this one a bump too.. once again to whomever thought they'd never seen me climb..

I was recovering from a running injury to my foot at the time.. We got on the job day 1 at 1 pm. I hadn't been in the spikes for over a month and was afraid the pressure would irritate the injury so I went without spikes that afternoon. Next day I wore them and it turned out OK. Took two full days to get that tree out of the backyard, up the hill, and hauled off.. I had contracted a day rate climber to come in for the tree, but after seeing it, he was a no show... It all worked out though..

 

As I recall there were only 5 gob cuts made for the entire removal...
