Now flash foward to 6am.. My office phine rings. It is a apt complex. Seems a tree has snaped off and there is a large piece of it stuck in a near by tree..
Here is what i see when I pull up.
Well this tree is way to small to climb and with the log in it, there is not to many options on bringing it down. Ad to that it is with in 3 feet of building. Add up 3 sliding glass doors, and 3 huge windows on the 2nd floor. So we tie some rope to the tree and tie it to my truck and pull that SOB down.
Here is what it looked like.
here is the tree where we broke it.
We get it all cut up and out the way and move on to the next part of the job. Removing the tree. In the first pic you see the throw line. It is a slick coated line with a 12oz weight bag on one end. We use a giant sling shot to send the line up in the tree. Once over we tie the bull line ( rigging rope) to the throw line and pull it down, there by making a loop with the bull line.
Ken setting the throw line
bringing up the bull line
Once over the tree we use a figure of 8 on the bight to made a girth hitch on the limb
Right there is where the batt in the camera died. I have more pics they are on kens cam. Will post up tomorrow
