Lol Sean.
There was plenty of room for a crane, the job complexity didn't warrant the use of a crane and also the money is better in our pocket then the crane company's pocket.

Also, third pic down I think shows you leaving lots of stubs, possible hang ups, but the last pic seems like they were cleaned up .... Not picking on you just wondered what was going on coz we all know it sucks when lowering and the piece gets hung up on a stub.

Good job, tight removal, and no sticky pine resin/sap crap. Those liquid ambers are great to cut, the saw slices thru like butter.

But this time of the year I bet rake up was huge!
Lol Ekka, you caught me out!

I don't have foot plates at the moment and lately my spurs have been making my arch ache so I left stubs to ease my feet on nice purches, but when we took down a big limb it got hung up on one of the stubs and I had to climb back down to loosen it the limb off .

Where the two closest stems are, they come off a single stem before that. There was enormous pressure inbetween the stems because of the bark ridge in the branch union, the elephant ears were huge even the far one onto the main trunk had alot of pressure with HUGE E.E's.

Did you grind the stump? Those Liq's are mongrel stumps to grind. Double the $$$ of nearly any other stump of the same size i reckon. Like radiata pine.
Alot of customers really love the fact that we are a father and son team looking out for one another. I've noticed that our cultured race (<- Lack of a better word) customers love the father and son more then what the Aussies do. Most customers by the end of the day have made us lunch

We're doing 12 MASSIVE GIRTH Cocos Palm cleans tommorrow before heading back to grind the stump.
