the 'todays job' thread

[kram]

Bit of a long story... A local arb was on holidays and got me a solo job tidying up a woodland, with a big poplar for us to do when he got back.

It went badly, he wouldnt climb higher, he just wanted to smash big peices from low down. He tried negative rigging when it could easily have been positive and controlled, wouldnt listen to me.

 

Tennis court fence got smashed, also his ladder smashed, he ran away. I stayed, wasted an extra day fixing the fence.

Fixed, not perfect but customer is happy.

 

Anyway after the repair, I got paid for the days I was owed (not for the fence). Customer had some trust in me, so I recommended somone else who I know is excellent. He has no fear of climbing higher and he is much quicker than the other guy. Small peices and controlled.

 

 

That brings us to today, not quite finished, the stem left to peice down and just me today. Not very high, I thought ladder would be a pain so left it at home, used spikes instead. I prefer spikes to ladders!

Stem was about 32", perhaps 40" at the top. 28" bar on the g372.

Thankfully the quote was to leave the logs as I cant shift all of that by myself! I did say I'd cut them smaller and tidy it up a bit.
