Here is a job from last week. Took down a eucalyptus next to the swimming pool and a few other eucs. No stumps the guy is going to backhoe out the stumps and we left them about 8' high.

Here are some pictures from a palm tree takedown we did earlier this week. The climber is a contract climber guy I hired by the day and he is somewhat of a nutcase but did a good job for me. He had everything on the ground in about 45 minutes.

Here is a job we did about a month ago. Pollarded a sycamore and trimmed a valley oak. Am I hogging all the fun here?

My son and I took a ride up Del Puerto Canyon in the coast range mountains of central california. I worked on this ranch as a teenager. Pretty hot and dry and after 2 drought years in a row even hotter and dryer than usual. This country usually greens up in Nov. thru March or so. The trees are pretty much black oaks except for the cottonwoods along the creek bed. These hills only go up to about 2500' above sea level and as you get a little higher there will be more brush and a few pines mixed with the oaks.

Steve does. Some of us just climb.

I do whenever possible. I got a little spurt of energy this afternoon and built another port a wrap.

And the last picture. In the first picture you can see that I welded the pipe onto my welding table to hold it while I bent the rod around it. I couldn't hold it in a vise so I tried this method. The pipe is a piece of a worn out hydraulic cylinder tube and the rod my cousin had in his collection.
