Home owner felling gone wrong!!

treerat

Just finished the day with a big removal and a small trim job getting the trucks ready for tomorrow and the phone rings.Home owner says do you do emergency removals?? Well have a look at what happened, as soon as we got the tree rigged up the sky opened up with heavy rain and lighting just fricken great.We rigged a pull line (orange rope) back to the chip truck to take the weight off the roof and a tag line(red rope) tied off to a porty to control main part so it wouldn't hit the deck when the tree was cut off the roof. Notice the high back cut he used to fell the tree, he used no wedges or pull rope. oh but he just bought a new 260 for the job. need less to say we will be fellen the rest of the trees for him next week

Did it cave in the roof? How about soft spots in the roof, or just in the HO's head?

The chimny took a direct hit and pushed it down about 4" and broke 2 roof rafters he will have to replace that. about 4' around the chimny is soft there was only 4-6'' holes in the roof we had to pull the branches out from inside the attic and chuck them out the window.


Yea NG that is a 51 runs like a champ I have 3 of them excellant saws it is light and won't wear you out. Good eyes.

Excellent pics, would have been handy for a crane.

Yes, angled back cuts and cut through hinges. LOL
Why angled back cuts are dangerous

And for those who do take the time out for pics and posting, thank you.

Crane access would of been iffy, my cell phone was goin off all day with weather alerts for T-storms and heavy rain I didn't even make the call to get one with the pending storms. This job was about 45mins from me and the crane Co. that I use was 1.5 hrs from the job. I got the call around 4:15pm and I don't like working in the dark if I don't have to total time from door to door was around 5hrs.
