the 'todays job' thread

Had a nice windblown oak today, which I cut down to 3x3 metre logs, plus some larger boughs.  Very minimal ground disturbance, given the howling weather we've had recently.

Impressive.

Out on another airspade/root protection job today to expose a pipe for repair, running through a group of Blue Atlas root plates. Been using these slave units hooked up to a 32t chassis VacEx to remove the spoil to keep the weight down. Impressive things but a gruelling job. Luckily, weather was nice.

Had some interesting work lately, today didn't disappoint. Windblown Poplar onto the back of a medical centre.

Big day mentally, less so physically.

Big old Monterey Pine on a golf course today.

Nothing special, just another few ash helped down to the ground instead of onto the shed roof.

I’m sure they putt it back.

Sod off, preferred lies will be in play surely.

I know what you mean, the most exhausting bit of crane jobs like that is singing Miley Cyres’ Wrecking Ball at opportune moments.

 

 

Well, it’s exhausting for the poor sods who have to listen, anyway.
