Handyman Removes Tree And Shed Video

Haha! Hollow tree=no hinge=no control.

Eric Frei · 12th January 2010, 11:28 PM

LOL, that was an ambitious drop .... especially leaving those branches on up the top, even if he got it bang on it may have rolled into the shed.

Dang funny though, "sorry"

stirmantrees · 13th January 2010, 12:30 PM

that was awesome

Victor Lindsay · 13th January 2010, 11:04 PM

I love the professional words for the owner...SORRY. Should add, we don't have insurance...sorry.

Therrin · 14th January 2010, 05:47 PM

that's good stuff!

bobdoesit · 14th January 2010, 09:54 PM

Well another case of (oh i can do that mate). When will owners learn???
Do hope that there were,nt to many valuable tools etc in that shed.
Thats cheered me up today.

And hey, climb safe out there.
Rob.

Victor Lindsay · 15th January 2010, 12:29 AM

After watching it again, I think he lucked out hitting the shed. Could of hit the house...way more money to repair that damage.

Therrin · 16th January 2010, 09:08 PM

Having seen another one of Ekka's vids... the lil balloon popup with "free stump grind" came to mind.

"Sorry!"

Eric Frei · 17th January 2010, 08:33 AM

"Errr (operator scratches head), yeah we'll dump that shed for free if you like, no extra charge Sir!"

l2edneck · 18th January 2010, 05:14 AM

from where im standing i don't see anywhere to even drop the stick....hack n stack at it's best!!!!!!

bobdoesit · 20th January 2010, 06:52 AM

Well can not really tell if someone has been up that tree to remove the branches recently?? May have just been like that for years.
But if he or someone else removed them they should have pieced it all the way down or untill at least safe.

And hey, Climb safe out there.

Rob.
PS, SORRY.

Jeez what was he thinking?

Great vid!

sueann · 27th March 2010, 05:46 PM

I think it's a setup. There was just nowhere for that tree to go other than on the chainsaw cutter, one of those houses or the shed. The shed won.

It couldn't fall this way because he was cutting from this side, it was always going to hit that shed.

I think the guy was aiming for just left of the shed, but if he was it was bloody optimistic. Hollow as anything, huge branch on the top (probably still solid by the look of it), there was no way to control that thing.

No way I'd try dropping it straight, that's for sure!

sueann · 28th March 2010, 11:21 AM

Well there can only be one conclusion.

Stupid men!

Hey we are not the one up to our face in a tree...

Ace Master · 28th March 2010, 06:40 PM

A hollow tree and no hinge wood very optimistic drop between house and shed i think!

who's going to smooth that one over with the angery shed owner?

LOL, in the beginning they fetch your beer.

In the end you're worse off than a Sherpa on an Everest accent! Ah .... yet to find one that doesn't think the planet revolves around their little finger.

windthrown · 30th March 2010, 01:48 PM

Good shed demo job.

I have dropped a lot of hollow oaks and boxelders within a foot of target. That is not the issue... seems to me like his back cut was aiming the tree exactly where it landed. If that was the back cut that is... you would think he would drop that big knobby limb first and then drop the tree toward where he was standing... but then, thinking seems to have not been an available option in this case.

In the beginning they bring you flowers and choccies, then you find out they really wanted a slave.

I'm yet to find a man that doesn't think the world revolves around his.........
