Erik your pictures  and vids are always interesting, your work is in a different league. What are the circumstances of this series of photos (looks like it it was quite tragic) thanks

[Mick Dempsey]

Looks like some fire blackening there @Erik

 

Did you lose a lot of trees?

 

(sorry just repeating Mr Nicks question)

How dry is the timber?
Does the fire effect the use of the timber?

Burnt timber from one of the large complex Fires this summer. Falling burnt timber is dirty/dangerous, and the trees are much more prone to breakage when hitting the ground. We are doing our best to save as much wood as possible, and much of the timber is still quite nice.

Finished the 28 plane pollards now the ground has dried out.

Punishing for the old sciatica bob bobbing for skinny sticks all day.

Climber would prefer half rather than full days but after he had his afternoon line of coke he was buzzing and those whippy sticks rained down.

Little Field Maple reduction reduction that was on the wonk over the guys new office. Top was dying back so had to work with some sound timber. Was prob harder than I would have liked to have gone but he was adamant about how hard he wanted it and the client is always right ah?!

Not too bad, they react well to pruning, if top was dead, wots the base like?  K

The drag looks like a pita

The drag looks like a pita

The banks at the back were savage for the groundies, had three on the deck for this one and was about a further 65m to the chippper at the front down a narrow access. Plenty of targets for me to avoid like air con units, irrigation systems and ground lighting but I’d rather be up there than on that drag!
