Pulled it right over nice and slow, no need for a backcut. Perfect!

I have an uprooted locust tree, overhanging a pool and fence, that I need to fell shortly. A big komatsu loader has just turned up... I have a bull top installed, plan to slowly pull the tree upright and fell into waste land, avoiding the backyard. I will put a go in first before the pull. Have any of you done this?

I just bee talking to people about we're I used to live, long beach, is destroyed! Boardwalk gone, no power, sewers screwed, people looting houses, my stuff is still Down there, most of my clothes, bed, futon, bike. I put my valuable basses upstairs with the landlord. He nearly lost the house he says! It is really bad. I stayed at my bosses since Monday, his basement flooded 7 feet, ten he pumped it out, then last night the sewer backed up thru the loo with raw sewage! So now I am bunked down with robs sis in law! Crazy. Homeless. But I feel like I've not lost much. We now have well paid work coming out of every orrifice! So i will make the most of things. The work is just mental. Some easy, bucket of few cuts, branch off power line. One today big oak down resting on the lines. Got an anchor in an adjacent oak, horizontal trees are easy, but soooo much tension on the wires, made one small cut and a bit of wood catapulted onto my cheek, very lucky, I jumped out of the tree! Was like a punch from Tyson. Black eye now, all good. Storm work. Back to it mañana, not even started privates, but tree is a sh1t load of it. Everywhere.

All good fellas. Gonna take weeks to get it all cleaned up. Big hangers over front doors, kids playing in fallen trees, pretty mental. The water was the worst bit! My basement apartment had water upto the ceiling, so that's a gonner! Some parts like far rockaway complete washed away. 10 people died. Sewage coming up thru basement toilets! Mental!

Hey fellas! What's all the fuss? All good wveryone here alive and well. Devastation everywhere, a lot of tree damage. Today I am taking trees/limbs off power lines so they can restore power. It was exciting last night! Just gotta eat my lunch....

Pay is get to experience some intense tree work, save lives, streets, $200 a day, then do the same the next day! hehe

I need guys tomorrow !!! Its going to be bad. People with a good head on their shoulders, who can use a saw, and feed a big chipper.

Who are the 'top boys'? Can you deal with any tree in a hurricane aftermath? Windblown, resting on houses, rootplate lifted, trunk snap outs etc etc. Feed the chipper.... sned up. It all helps

Come over then. Do you climb?

what time is your flight?

1. Sassafras. 2. Poplar.

Come now and you can work straight away tackling sh1t you never tackled before. Seriously.

Only got a 66 mate. But we have that bobcat for the whole week, so that will be handy Its gonna be bad I reckon... Real bad. Come over and help out? International fox?

Effing huge hurricane ! Sandy. Just talked to a mate who is on call for Central park, on $900 a day. Now that is what we should be earning.

Haha that was condo the king with ipray on his shirt, he got the machine unstuck! Silky yes that rope puller is fifty bucks from treestuff. Great bit of kit as I have already said!

Cheers Silk. Here are some more pics from the same job. Took out 2 Poplars, I did the first, Daniel did the second. Then the bobcat arrived to remove the wood...

All I can say to you wusses is DIDDUMS!

I jus got one from treestuff, $50! Best tool to have!

I think they will postpone TCIA Ted.

So you may not be aware, but there is a huge hurricane right now heading up the East coast of America. It is a Frankenstorm, a Nor Easter storm with a hurricane in the middle. It is set to hit proper on mon/tue. So who is up for flying over to help clean up the mess?

Here are two stone dead poplars on a big felling job from this week. My boss thought I could just nip up and fell them from half way up into the garden, well no, I didn't think that was possible, so instead we removed two panels of fence, and I felled them into some waste ground, then mashed them up for habitat. The small one was leaning the right way anyway, but I had a pull line in the big one attached to a $50 Maasdam rope puller, which has earned its place in the truck already! I filmed the fells, but unfortunately the SD card got corrupted

Did that tree take the whole day? I liked the chainsaw noise BTW.

Hehe yes it is! I went to college with her 18 years ago!
