Good work Nick. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Hopefully important info can be taken on board from viewing. Keep up the good work!

I got one. Very heavy duty. I throw my phone around the yard all the time. Took it out one saturday night, dropped it and cracked the screen. Typical!

What targets were there underneath? Just looked like you could have dropped it all.

Least you have learned from the experience.

Never ever get to have a crane on jobs. Its so competitive here, that tree was $1700. Another firm put 4k on it. She chose us obviously. If we had a crane in for a day we could do 4 of these..... Anyway Gotta get the wood down as quick as possible, there was zero drop zone, rigged it down to about 20 foot then sliced it, there was a bush underneath that took some hits but the HO did not give a care. (Neighbors yard took all the material! They were renters and didnt care.)

Removing a medium size red oak in a tight spot, as usual! Cut to a foot above fence with a slant so water drips off, (customer is always right.) We were done and fully loaded apart from 3 bits of wood by 2pm. Todays job, just deadwooding, raising, thinning and pruning back off house. away by 10am

From hurricane Sandy. Sandy one-year anniversary I hope you take the time to watch the film. Really puts into perspective recent weather. I was living in a basement in Long Beach, my place was completely destroyed. Now all back to normal but Im missing the beack way of life. Hope you're all doing ok. Ben

Ultimate controlled rigging, butt and tip tied, lowered by what looked like one guy on the deck!

Well you should see the wood we have to PAY to dump. Alot of oak, its really is a shame. I was just talking about wood to my dad, and he wondered if there was a way of shipping wood to Uk. Freight would be way too expensive to bother with I think. We could just dump it in the Atlantic and hope it arrives in Blighty! LOL

Probably so they could get it out of the backyard. Probably thru the kitchen! Haha

This time last year hurricane Sandy blew us apart here in New York. An unforgettable experience for sure. Be very careful if you get some strong damage. Be safe! My memories....

Video: Making Money: Sawmill : The New YorkerAfter Hurricane Sandy, New York City was littered with thousands of downed trees. Hundreds of those ended up at RE-CO BKLYN, a Brooklyn-based sawmill that was operating out of a small lot in Williamsburg. The company—run by Roger Benton and Dan Richfield—collects trees from landscapers, the Parks Department, and landfills, and turns many of them into high-end furniture.

Failed oak top, over house. Only a couple of shingles damaged by tree.
