When we had to have two mature Ash trees cut down..the guy also climbed the trees. They were very high trees. He had 4 pulleys up with him. One or two were connected to him and someone down below was in charge of working them. Two pulleys were for lowing the cut tree limbs. He had five helpers with him and they worked their tails off. When they finished our backyard was clean as a whistle.

Very interesting guy. He told me he was a hand full as a young boy and his father sent him off to military school. He said it was the kindness thing his dad ever did. He was so thankful to his dad. A big Trump supporter...LOL

It is fascinating to watch them work isn’t it? Takes a lot of coordination. I can’t remember the guys name now, but it was neat to watch him Circle the tree, get the wind direction, look around at surrounding structures, climb up and check the tree condition and then come down and do it all again. Took half a day to bring down one tree. But it was a 200-foot Jeffrey pine that was half rotted part way up.

Military school, didn’t Trump go to military school? I think he was a handful has a youngster as well. I can see that now in him, seems like he enjoys getting into trouble a bit. And he enjoys causing it more :-)

I used to threaten my oldest son with military school as he was a handful. Never did, and he turned out fine, although it may not have taken him so long if I had sent him there! :-)
