the 'todays job' thread

Large Beech reduce in the last couple of days, did it 7 years ago because of decay in base and will probably be felled in 2-3 years time. Its a centre piece to the front drive and will be a shame when it has to come down.

A really good day!

Oak reduction from this morning. Was pollarded about 5years ago. Will probably get maintained like this now every 3years or so.

 

Wouldn't have usually used a cherry picker but had it on hire for the week for another job. Always find it strange doing a reduction from in the basket im to used to being inside the crown on a harness not working from the outside in. Pissed it down all morning so called it a day when we were done.

Well, it was a decent job done anyway.

Crane removal of two compromised Maple trees over a listed building.  
 

Had a internal voice tell me not to tie into one of the leaning stems.  I had an anchor in a more upright, funked stem.

 

As I got 4/5th of the way through the cut it popped and started to open up.  I noticed it when my feet started to move

 

A couple of pictures of the pic and the cracked stem.  Some others of the job in general.  All went pretty smoothly considering the state of them and the potential for property damage.

 

 

Hello Rich

Funny how those gut feelings work out in tree work.

Yeah busier than ever at the moment. Still working with Dave, all going well. I heard a while back your out in Norway full time now, how you getting on?

[Rich Rule]

Good to hear.  Yeah been here over 3 years now.  Kids have settled well and doing well at school.  
 

Work is busy, so can’t complain.  Say hello to your brother and climb safe.

[Treemoose]

Ah glad it’s all going good. Haven’t been over to Norway but I read Norwegian Wood. It’s a good read if you like reading about burning and stacking logs ?
