Lopped and Topped Tallowood Removal Brisbane

Ekka · 18th October 2007, 03:16 PM

Did this job yesterday, just taking care of business.

Chipped the lot, log and all, but had to rip the log up to get it in the 18" chipper, was a big one and heavy!

Steve climbed it.

Around 5 mins and 25mb WMV

Another good vid! Any chance of getting some chipping action on those biguns? Love to see those big machines work.

I'll keep it in mind, just gets to that time of the day where loading log and grinding the stump means payday so tend to get on with it.

Once again GREAT vid Ekka!

I noticed that one of the branches had made contact w/ the roof of the building. (Also notice your superior skill in synching up the cymbal crash and the impact on the roof!! LOL)

Was there any sustained damage to the roof? What type of roofing material was on the roof?

What knots were used to tie your "catch rope" to prevent a run away log?

Thanks

Roof was tiled and no gutter/capping that could have been damaged by the tips.

I called that shot from the ground and asked the climber to cut it like that so we could sweep the roof with the tips ... there was debri stuck there (not from us) but we never got it.

You cannot do that with gutters!

Good stuff as usuall, Eric, I also was hoping that the canopy of the section that impacted the roof cushioned it. Good ground work also I like the deflectors you had in place for run-a-ways, Sometimes the bigger they are the harder to get falling...but training came thru.. and over she went with a great echoey thud!!
