Specifically were taking "hangers" from trees.  Mostly roads but its wherever the big boys tell us to go.

So my contractor says" Bring you, one more person, and your bucket and your good."  I called  //:bs// on this after the first day.  We did 15 "hanging"  limbs the first day cause we didn't get started till 4pm,  got 34 the next cause we had a better system and more time, called my brother to come help out cause he needs work and did 85 "hangers" the next 2 days with the extra man.  I streamlined a few things our DOT monitor was doing very slowly and brought in a 4th person and we broke the record for amount of "hangers" anyone in my 21 zones did by 24 with 135 "hangers".  Its pretty much the same thing over and over all day long but I certainly wont complain about the $$.  For anyone that doesn't know, a hanger is a limb that is, well,  hanging above a street that could fall and hurt a city mower or car passing by.  Wish I had gotten into this for myself a long time ago but as I said to Danny, better late then never.  Here are a few pics of what were doing,  over and over and over and over for the next 3 weeks  //CHAINSAW//. 



This should give you a good idea what a hanger is.  Don't worry he wasn't going to cut that limb from there, I snapped it on his way up.   //LMAO//  You cant see it when the sun glares on it as it did in this pic but I put a GATR sticker on the inside of the upper boom.  Representin  //bluesbrothers//



Luckily we got placed in a honey hole of a zone and would hardly even see a single car pass by every 30 mins or so.

Had a blast working in SC for the last two and a half weeks.  Learned a ton and made a great start for my new business.  Aiken/Augusta is known for their trees and it was a lot of fun being able to work around such giants.  I'm talking 100+ year old oaks and pines that were 120+ feet.  Added some swag to the upper boom.  Gotta represent wherever I go  //salute//



Found this beauty in the historical district of Edgeville. Just goes to show what a tree can live through.  Believe it or not it was still alive and kickin.




Gibson even came out for some of the action.  Such a good Log Dog.



Going back out to High Point NC in a week or two for another contract.  Fun Fun Fun

Finished off Dougs lake house this week.  Took down something like 62 Pines and sweet gums.  Had a huge pile of logs left over.  Too bad burning pine sucks.  Firewood for months  //LMAO// My climber set his new person record for most trees climbed and dropped in a day with 38 on Monday.  Very proud of my crew, they got several very nice compliments from the neighbors and other contractors that stopped by.  Ive got more pics but they are on my real camera. 



Much thanks to Doug and his family for letting me and my crew stay at the lake house.  Absolutely perfect way to end a long hard days of cutting was sitting on the dock with a beer and cigar.  Very nice place you have there man.  Cant wait to get out on the water some day.

Can those logs be sold to a lumber processor / mill shop?

[Skandalous]

indeed although anything under 12" diameter is just pulp wood.  The bigger the better.  They are probably being picked up as we speak though.

You didn't make much off Doug  //LMAO//
