Mate! What did you do with that ugly barrel?

There was bugger all root s holding that down, probably just the weight of it.

Hey, your avatar, is that Resurrected Stevo doing some biblical work?

Didnt have to do anything with the barrell,you could see it had rotted back from being serverly topped.

Thats Stevo doing his jesus thing.

Bowline on a bight.

Nice pics. I've tried to avoid labor intensive planting in our landscape...we are taking care of 2 acres in our spare time and it's quite a job and depressing if we get behind.

When i was clearing powerlines this span was one of the ones i really dreaded,drop off at base of trees and not much room a all day trim job.

mountain grey gum getting the chop.

Heres a blue gum a dropped in a park a little while back had a big split down the center,had the fingers crossed it wasnt going to handgrenade,saved a dodgy climb thou.

Pretty tall whippy tree i think it was 85-95' and a pain to chip like call blue gums that time of year.

What a sweet pic of the inclusion you've got there, right about avoiding that dodgy climb too. Nice one

You guys seem to make more /better use of cranes than we do over here,I''ve known guys to climb for 20 years and never use a crane..

a_lopa · 14th February 2007, 01:17 AM

Same here Rolla,that crane is a freind of mines he owns a rigging company and only just brought it,im getting a VERY good rate on it so any jobs it can get at it will be used on from now on.
