Felling big stuff

[JimM]

Well it turns out it's a Noble Fir.

Today was day 1. MEWP didn't appear till 10 which was a bummer, but got a good tonnage down.

The building behind is listed (not the shed!), as is the house next to it.

Removed the bulk of the front face today though, will rig out the back and then fell tomorrow.

The best bit was my extra groundie appearing.

I rec climbed it on Sunday and measured out at 98ft to the tips.

The back stem will be fun!

It's all gone well, Stevie. Put the pictures on Today's job picture thread. Drop the last 50 ft or so of the stem in the morning.

 

Really interesting job. Planned 2 days to get down, and if the mewp had arrived on time yesterday it would be a stump right now. Chuffed to bits. Had a good team helping though
