We got called out to a rural area today to find that the customer went on a hack fest with his hand saw on a heap of ironbarks! Ha!

All up we removed 45 stumps on a sloping piece of property.

Going back next week to remove his Salmon Gum (Eucalyptus salmonophloia) - it's got a few branches over the power lines so that's why we get to remove it and not him.

That darn roof is hot.4 guys went home sick today from it and right now I ain't feeling so hot.

Did some volunteer work at a local Pre-K school here. Prunned some crappy soft maples and a pin oak. Removed a Bradford Pear and a shrub, not sure what is was but it was growing into a shed.

I cut down a clump of Travellers palms and got snotted on!

newguy18 · 8th August 2007, 06:47 AM

Imade it through today alright I guess this heat is really getting to me this week for some reason.It was 107 at 4:30 this afternoon and at 12 we broke 115.The company ordered that noone goes on the roof until monday when the heat breaks.A friend of mine did teach me a trick to keep from getting headaches and getting dizzy.Pour ice water on the 2 veins running up the back of your neck to your brain.

Ekka · 10th August 2007, 10:34 PM

115 that's pretty serious stuff!

We're in winter here and it's cracking 28C in Brisbane, hopefully we get some storms and rain this year, dams are 16% now.

Went to a a couple pawn shops today. Got super excited. Found pretty much the exact saddle I want $75 Mint cond. and went to another pawn shop and found some freakin SPIKES!!

$60 bucks, aluminum with replacable gaffs...super stoked. I practiced with them today and I tried out using a blakes hitch today, I liked it alot, it doesnt seem to losen like the Tautline Hitch. Great day over all.

Ekka · 11th August 2007, 07:41 PM

That's friggin cheap for that gear, you done well, post some pics so we can see what ya got.

What sort of pads are on those spikes too I wonder?

newguy18 · 11th August 2007, 09:49 PM

Sound like a good find.The only climbing gear I have seen at the pawn shops around here was for pole climbers and they are pretty much exticntin these parts.
