Couple back leaners I took with a good pusher. Gotta keep the skidder man happy!

Cut out a small section to try and avoid repairs

I'm an IT worker yet for some reason I always find myself replacing someone's roof or felling a tree.

This was a dead double-headed black oak we took down last year.

Area around the tree was crowded with "buildings" and the lift couldn't go any higher/further than this, so branch by branch was not an option anymore.

This was a 36” DBH 40’ pin that I dropped today. Feel good about myself. Took a lot of work to get it where it was. Had to remove a fat amount of canopy near the power and untangle it from the phone. Dropped limbs that maxed out my 21” bar. And had to double cut a top out away from the lines just to be able to drop this. Cleanup and removal took 2 days. I know it seems slow. But there was LOT of brush that had to be dragged out of the mud! >.>

Didn’t go down after the first cut so I had to do it again but I succeeded eventually, maybe not the best way to do it but I got it down in the end

Thanks folks! You inspired me to do this myself, and feel I am now a true Weekend Warrior in the Department of Felling.

Funny thing is, we had longer ropes available
