Todays Elm fell

[josharb87]

Had some fun with this old girl today. Dutch elm disease.

 

Had a 6 story underground library archive under the tree, so had to be a bit careful with the size of chogs. Decorative stone work around (as seen in last pic) and a few up lighters to avoid.

 

Not my job, Just hired in.

 

 

 

 

Less than 2 hours later time for a water break, 34c...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

88 with a 4ft bar...

 

 

 

Got a timelapse filmed, will add to the thread when I've edited it

Nice Job..

 

You don't look like you were being all that careful with the size of the chogs josh, I bet you got a few SSSHHHH's from the librarian.

 

Big J will be in tears seeing that stick ringed up.

You aren't wrong. That is absolutely bloody criminal.

 

Seriously though, what volume of elm work do you get? It might be worth a trip over.

Cheers tom and steve

 

A fair bit big j, i had an idea about loading containers up with elm and oak and shipping them to the uk mills but that idea never took off, no one wanted to give me an idea of price they'd offer so couldn't figure out if it would be worth it
