Nice job Sanny

I agree wirth Ed on the dead stuff issue, I have gad pieces break off just from the vibrations of climbing the tree. Dead trees resonate at a much higher frequency then live ones and so a little repetetive movement lower down can lead to a big movement at the top. However craning the top off would surely have been better.

I sure do agree with you and Ed Tom as far as reliability of dead wood holding on when dismantling, my comments were to do with having the attitude of "expecting" damage!

[sanny]

a do agree with you guys but am afraid i dont deal with the spec of the jobs i get paid to climb and do what am told to do.

[White Noise]

the crown was dead as a dead thing for about two years due to some planting a great big garage under it so limbs had falling in the winds got to expect some damage on our part to but yeah caught out in that pics lol:tongue_smilie:

 

As the T Shirt says Sh#t happens . Dead trees when removing are a pain . Even when lowering limbs pieces are prone to breaking. Best you can do is minimise the damage . Looks like you did a great job with that Crane.Branches will break off a dead tree with just the movement of the climber .
