Won this job a week ago, 2 large removals ,it has had a picus test and has bracket fungi decay in both bases, which they recommendated to remove, went pass today to take some pictures and organise a day and equipment before we start,i will take progress pictures.They are over 50m tall and 20m spread the DBH is 120cm and with a distance from the house of 35m.

Great, and power goes underground off that pole.

So take a bit off the top and sides and fell it.

Hey, why all the cost of a picus test, are the trees protected?

You guys have the best looking trees over there. Eucs, figs, gums, cocos, palms, etc. It always looks like you guys are cutting in a tropical arboretum.

Looks a good job, big tree with plenty of room to work. Hate those big ones in a townhouse back yard with no access and blocking for 2 days.
You have a heap of fun!

Don't suppose they gave you a copy of the picus read out? have yet to see one that even comes close to the actual decay pattern in the cross section after felling (except the ones they show you in the brochure of course!)
If you have time take a shot of the low stump cross section.

shaggs · 13th November 2007, 03:30 AM

Should be a good job Acemaster. Don't forget to take some pics during the action and let us see!!!
You guys are obviously geared up for that big stuff!

I 2nd that. Would love to see test results vs reality.

Ekka · 13th November 2007, 05:48 AM

Me too, me too.

I wanna see.

I wanna see too.

Telescopic tower work today.

1 dead cotton palm (washingtonia), was alive before we got there.

3 dead gums, also were alive before we got there.

Common denominator for these deaths today was vanity.

Yes, they were all ugly and had to go.

a_lopa · 15th November 2007, 03:36 AM

Had the C.B.F today...did a bit.

clementine · 15th November 2007, 01:42 PM

Thought I'd give you a laugh posing with 1400 watts of pure cutting power, plus PPE (sunglasses). The customer lent me the saw cos his back is too bad to use it.

These little palms, pruned 6 in all, real easy going cos they're so small but F....'n 'ell there sharp

, got spiked a couple of times. The leaves are soft at the top but rock hard near the base, spears, like I need to tell you!
A pair of gauntlets would have helped.

Respect to those that have to deal with large ones on a regular basis

You're a funny bastid!

And look just like the guy in your avatar except with a chainsaw.

newguy18 · 15th November 2007, 02:34 PM

clementine · 15th November 2007, 03:01 PM

Cheers Ekka,

Being told I look even remotely like my hero, Burt, 'as made me up I tell you

He's on the box here tomorrow in the film "The Professionals", with Lee Marvin too. Cracking old film!
