Oh the glory ... and the pics, dont miss the TV show!

Sean Freeman · 21st March 2007, 02:54 AM

Mate, by the time I got home last night the local channel 7 and channel 9 had run their bit with Steve talking to camera

Still thats the way of the world if I were taking all the risk and costs I'd probably be the one in front of the camera.

Another long one today but Friday's looking good for the 2nd tree it will be a bit heavier though up around 40tons I think.

Ekka · 21st March 2007, 03:55 AM

How do we get hold of that TV footage? Maybe can get a copy off the station? Surely Steve would be entitled to a copy?

Sean Freeman · 21st March 2007, 05:05 AM

Yes, I'm sure you're right...will ask him if he wants to pursue it tomorrow, he does check this forum off and on but hasn't registered I'm sure he will eventually get around to registering.

Not every day ya roll up and next to the house yer scheduled to do is another company.Bigger than me lookin good.Just wonderin why my price on 2 jobs on the same street was higher than his and i got it?

Totally amazed today.

I rolled in there and did my work wit my lil out fit....and compliments from both there customers?LMFAO

(bet i looked dumb out there straddlin limbs after leavin my ladder)

safety and quality as long as tree prosperity and satisfaction come together makes for a good day......

Ekka · 22nd March 2007, 03:43 AM

Just coz they got big machines doesn't mean they're any better on work quality.

When people deal with you, as a person not a big business they treat you more humanely. Good stuff, I'm happy for you coz not all of us want the debt and headaches of big business but it doesn't mean we do a worse job.

Managed to get 1 'totum' (out of two standing), down. Steep slope with a forward lean down the slope and had to drop the sucker at 45 degrees. Had to rope it in case it started to roll.

And then it was time for a smoke. And a coffee.

Ekka · 27th March 2007, 12:41 AM

How you getting that log out of there?

TREE-SURFER · 27th March 2007, 09:58 AM

LMAO. I'm not, it's getting cut into rings and left for the customer. The only way outta there would be high line. Or chopper....

l2edneck · 27th March 2007, 10:12 PM

tonite? a litle self medication and a lot of pin pricks,really feel bad for my groundie OUCH!!! haulin and loadin a mad load...what a great worker

Ekka · 27th March 2007, 10:55 PM

I'd rather a dose of queen palms than those POS's, the spikes toxic or something, aches for a while.

I hope you killed them not cleaned them.

TREE-SURFER · 29th March 2007, 09:19 AM

Major tidy up after I got all this done.. (TF4T)
About time the groundy earned his pennies.

Ekka · 29th March 2007, 01:38 PM

Looks like a decent hill and hike up it to the tree. Imagine if that log rolled down the hill, far out, just as well you could leave it there.

JayD · 29th March 2007, 02:47 PM

were going to wack a Washy,..oh the fun of it all..it's probably around 40' tall I hate the buggers but then they wave the spondooly under my nose,and you all know the rest!

TREE-SURFER · 29th March 2007, 02:47 PM

Yeah, it was a back leaner and had to use high lift wedges and a top rope to get it over. Tied on a 20-25 tone rope at the base to stop her from rolling (hell --- that was nervy watching it go) can you imagine the damage, but, I do have a good rep for getting trees outa difficult spots. No one else wanted to touch this because of the slope (should have put more ?'s on this). Pussies. Keeps you fit though, running up and down the slope...

Ekka · 29th March 2007, 11:50 PM

I got the ride of my life today doing this skinny bugger spotty gum (ex-forest remnant left by developers). I got it on helcam video, haven't looked yet (bit stuffed today after having the Friday 3 JD's and coke after work!), bit of swearing going on!

Then a shit of a block down.

But all done, no damage, nice and sweet, money collected and everybody is healthy and un-injured.

Hey JD, where's the whack a washy pic, man I hate those, thank goodness for 18"
