the 'todays job' thread

Biggest part of the day for us was taking the top 60ft off this lightening struck, termite infested, dead ivy covered fir. Im just about to rig the top in the picture.

 

Caused a stir with the local residents as it was an eagle perch. None of them cared that it was hanging over the owners house. CTV news turned up and started fussing about the whole thing. Had to rig every thing but the rounds....and it was awkward because the lower limbs at 60ft and below had to be retained....as the tree was on the edge of an embankment down to the ocean the owner was not allowed to remove it altogether. The thinking being the live roots will continue to help keep the embankment from subsiding. There was other stuff on the site to do also, such as the adjacent tree where the photo was shot. I spent 2 hours removing the dead ivy also, that went to about 70 ft. Full of raccoon sh it. Nice views, but a day I dont mind forgetting.

A little over 110, judging by the amount of rigging line we used up. Wasn't as tall as it was long, as the top sorta bent over, if you know what I mean. We did make the 6 o'clock news is the end. Mainly Jared (co worker)/talking about eagle perches....as we created a new one in adjacent tree.

That's a great postcard picture, ( having a great time from so & so.)

Did you wear a dust mask.

Horrible rotting ash tree today, the trunk virtually exploded when it hit the deck that's my 390xp for scale farmer picked out the few decent bits of firewood from the top and the rest was pushed into an almighty bonfire!
