I saw the video footage on the news, man they were tennis ball to cricket ball sized stones, kill ya if you were hit in the head.

We've had warnings too today, it's gonna be storm week, bit a luck might blast a few tree over.

I love trees and all...

But I love it when the storms knock em over too!!!

It's a balanced thing... my tree-hugging-ness.

Have fun pomme its been a few years since I was up all hours of the night and staying up for 72 hours at a time.

JohN Dee · 11th December 2007, 02:16 PM

Alot of trees down indeed aswell as tiles broken, panels dinted and glass smashed - luckily my car wasn't here

. Yeah trees down everywhere, but SES got all the cream jobs. Plus in Castle Hill (where all the trees went over) there is like 45 tree services advertised in the one paper alone. So a few dribs and drabs... We've got hail stones the size of tennis balls in the freezer.

shaggs · 11th December 2007, 06:33 PM

That size ice makes 'em hard top get into the Bundy n Coke!!

I see alot of big companies chasing the storm work. When it happens own south they ome from everywhere. Good thing alot of people like to "go local".

Ekka · 11th December 2007, 11:05 PM

How come you had to climb when all those bucket trucks were there?

kimtree · 12th December 2007, 01:45 AM

managed to cut the back of my left hand today with silky first time ever,i was cleaning coconuts from the basket on my own,very silly mistake was holding on to a dead seed pod with left cut straight thru and a did basicly a fullstroke on the hand,was wearing a arm sleeve but missed that.strangely blood everywhere,got back on ground and put a pressure bandage on it then finished job.
2 big takedowns tomorrow hopefully i'll be right

JohN Dee · 12th December 2007, 03:14 AM

Lucky you didn't cut a veign... I'm always over cutting with my silky... Especially up conifers. Nowa days I cut myself, blood starts pooring out and and I keep working while the customer almost faints

.

Beatiful chip truck Ace, one of the best chip canopies I've seen in ages.

There was 14 trees we had to do in 2 days and two of the boys wanted to have a climb so they did, which helped us finish early on the 2nd day.One of the climbers is our apprentice so the more experience he gets the better he will becomes we hope

JohN Dee, we built the chipper canopy double skined for the sign writing and high so the bobcat fits in the back,it tows a bandit 254 and is our biggest chipper truck we got
