Todays job. Perfect weather, and apart from the sun in my eyes, this was pretty straight forward.

Camera work isn't the best but then it is just a standard digital camera that I managed to strap around my rib-cage.

About 6-7 minutes duration.

Yeah nice Reg.

However right toward the end, when you see that mountain of logs stacked .... CRIKEY! What happened to all of that?

Some nice cuts in there, all very smooth and controlled. I even saw one of those cuts Jim1NZ was on about. The logs lifted off nice and straight, seemed like only one sling on there, maybe you can explain that.

Nice one!

Nice cuts, and excellent placement and lifts by crane operator. Very smooth overall!

Thanks.

A local guy, Mr Stringer, came for the logs (see picture)

There were actually 2 slings but it wasn't always necessary to spread them out, which is why they're difficult to spot.

That crane operator is always superb, no bravado, no cell phone stuck to his ear, and always enjoys doing treework.

Only three of us + crane + Mr Stringer, so we did ok
