Clump felling

Ekka · 27th October 2007, 10:17 PM

Sometimes we have to fell clumps of stuck together stuff like fishtail palms.

Here you'll see how set up a prussik to get "grabs" on the pull rope to tension the clump and get the Kanga to a better viewing location for the driver.

Don't you just love our line of work?

Felling trees = DANGEROUS JOB!

Working with chainsaws = DANGEROUS JOB!

Constant risk of being HURT or KILLED!

Constant risk of expensive property DAMAGE!

Maintaining THOUSANDS of dollars worth of equipment!

Having the SKILL and the BALLS to pull it all off!

What's the only thing the H.O. cares about?

"You better not wreck my 3 foot high peach tree"

Sounds like you copped some "ballbreaking" on that job mate.

nice vid.

I'm continually amazed by the infinite value placed upon the most trivial and minuscule obstacle to our work, it's a conspiracy I tell ya!

In many instance the obstacles are actually placed with precision AFTER WE QUOTE THE JOB!

For example, new deck with a hole cut for palm then cut the palm down (same happens with paving, concrete and roofs).

Build a new garden and plants beneath large old gum tree then cut the gum tree down.

Builders special, just put a whole $250,000 condo under it then ask for it to be cut down.

I am amazed by the ever increasing rate of obstaclization of our workplace.

Hey, I had the carpet cleaned a few days ago, basically they lift and move nothing and just do the carpet ... imagine if we were so lucky to do the same .... if you dont want it broken, MOVE IT! But nah, you arrive and have to move the pots, the dog shit, the cars, the dog, the hanging baskets so you dont get sconned, the hose, the wheelie bin, cover the fish pond, clean the pool, vacuum the house, clean the gutters, polish the windows
