Pic P1096468 Poplar where I left a price for just a month earlier.
Pic P1156483 Freeing two caravans, one was insured, the other one wasn't. The wood from the spruces I took with me and have been sawn into lumber by myself.
Pic P1166485+86 Strange that one of them remained standing, ordinary spruce.
Pic P1169865+66 This what I saw when I came driving on their property.67 is laying over boathouse.69 same tree as 67. 71 is same tree as 65, can you imaging the force on the stem? It is hanging on a garage just 5 meters away from the root, that means that 25 meters is hanging down. Talk about downforce!
Pic P1296551 The signs says Private Road. For some people it took three days to be able to come out from their houses to the 'free' world.
Pic P5207223+24 These pines were interesting to take down. Made a small cut on the downside of the tree, standing at the top of the house. Then made a small cut on the top side. After this I made a V-cut on the house side of the stem. When I started to make the final cut the stem jumped away from the roof and came down without destroying anything. This was on an island, so no cranes could be used, climbing to dangerous, to much tension in the tree.
