Monterey pine decide to sit on shed and summer house roof the other week, job was a bit of a head scratcher. No access for a crane as drive was to small to get into, no other large trees to rig off, but could get in with mini digger so put a 5 metre jib on it and lifted little bit at a time. Bloody cones got to be the worst timber to trim out.

Nice. What sort of weight do you think you were handling at full reach? 100kg?

Well thought out, but I always think with jobs like that the roof is toast anyway.

I’d butt drop it and winch it back, causing much more damage, but it’s jeffed anyway?

The tin roof was bad but summer house roof was intact so not that easy. If I  would of butt dropped it would of not had to winch it as it would of flatted it all.

Garden structures are surprisingly strong. Years ago I was present when a pretty stout walnut was felled onto a pergola, expecting it to crush straight though. No, sir. A fkkk off heavy tree ended up sat on top of it. It didn't notice.

Necessitating a textbook system of step cuts to resolve the situation.

 

No photo description available.

 

P.S. I know that's not a walnut. There was one close by. It was years ago. I've basically got Alzheimer's.
