the 'todays job' thread

[Ian Flatters]

 

A couple from yesterday’s job and the clear up of the timber/stump this morning.

 

It was quite nice taking the backseat on the job and letting the lads work it out (I basically dragged, chipped and ground the stump). Always nice when they’ve got ahead and decide to let one of the other lads practice too. I sometimes forget that we need time to practice when time pressures are on a job.

Big tree Ian, could an arrangement not have been made with the Farmer to flop it into the field when it has no crops planted?

Couple of tall drawn up ash that had grown in the steps of a medieval canal feed thing of an old monastery or some shit like that.

Anyway, breaking the wall would have been V. bad juju.

 

Bit of rigging, bit of chucking, then the telescopic boom saves a lot of cutting and handballing to get it back over the water.

do you do any jobs without your mini loader ?

I hear you Carlos.

I’m guilty perhaps of thinking we see enough pics of branches hanging off ropes etc. so I reckon pics of smart ways of getting the job done are more interesting.

Was thinking the same, some people like hard work.

We did ask, they said no unless we waited until harvest. Gave the clients 2 quotes and they went with this one.

You still not climbing in that antique harness are you @Mick Dempsey? ??

For the first time, in a VERY long time, I found myself genuinely NOT wanting to go to work today. 

 

Been putting this one one off for months,  even turned around half way there and headed home. 

 

Done it now, but had no ‘love’ for it. 

 

Thankfully, these are few and far between experiences.
