Default Re: emergency tree today

I had a dead live oak once that i knew for a fact was rotten on the inside but decided it was safe to climb.I took all but the 2 main leaders off and 1 could be dropped in whole and the other had hv lines witih reach.I couldn't climb the one with hv under it and if I dropped the other the tree would have broke in half.I told the h.o That unless I could lay it across his already smashed fence[thanks to a previous wind storm].he gave me the okay and I hooked a rope on the union[both legs]and notched it out.It went over nicley and I have more buisness with him later this month.If its a bad situation flat out tell th h.o whats going on.No amount of money is worth your life.
