Another storm came through. Looks like crane time.

Another that tipped over.

the willow with the big section hanging upside down is mine.

If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious to know how much is it going to cost to have the tree removed and hauled away thats in the last pic?

Not much if I do it.
But normally I’d bet several thousand dollars.

@Woodpecker ?

At the shop:

The big limb on the ground in the shade on the right (I can’t even begin to budge it) came from
the stump 30’ away on the left. I guess it was borderline hurricane. We were out of town.

@chiselbit

hold on while I grab my jet pack… we’ll have that down before lunch tomorrow

yeah that’s a pretty big tree plus roof work and emergency service. It’d probably take north of 4k to get my attention.

So you mean to tell me a wheezed out Ford 8n, a hunk of rope and a Farm Boss won't handle that?

Thats some ugly stuff.

 

[davidwyby]

Working on crane/bucket for the sketchy one. Went and whacked on the big athel tonight.

Probably would have gotten it all handled but got interrupted by crop duster.

 

[davidwyby]

All the limbs are off, big saw and big truck to skid it tomorrow.

You didn't use the helicopter with the big saw blade?

Rot




More rot





the dark hole in the center is where I bored thru the rotten center to put the chain thru to drag it.
The 288 (36” buried) and 2166 had a little fun.

@sawmikaze I’d like to ask your opinion.

Hm, whom else is a tree pro?

Right now we’re going back and forth between piecing it down in small pieces from lifts and dumping it all over. I prefer to dump it over.

[chiselbit]

Looks like you’ve got a lot of potential collateral damage out there if you dump it, wires, fire hydrant, street sign, curb, pavement,,, but I’m looking at a tiny screen so maybe it’s not that bad? I’d probably opt for smaller pieces and try to keep it all in the lawn area. But again, I can’t see much on this iPhone.

Got the sketch part down today. My wife is not a widow.

 

[davidwyby]

Done.

 

[davidwyby]

Aleppo pine is incredibly tough, stringy, flexible.
