#055 - 008. Big Red Fir. Against house. Troy ID.


You'll want to click on this picture to enlarge it. Then you can see Reuben.


Jon Fagerland. Apprentice Climber. Anchor man here.

Reuben, ready to start blocking down.
Start 08-15-08. 20 man hours. Tree that I trimmed over 20 years ago. Pretty tight spot. In the back. No way to get equipment in. Other companies would have rented a crane most likely. Which of course would cost the customer 2 or 3 times as much. The tree was pushing against the eave where the roof had been cut away in the past. Plus. There were drop lines everywhere. And. The garage was 3 ft. away 90 degrees to the South. The only drop zone was the North East quadrant. Reuben did an amazing job getting it all roped down and blocked down in a day and a half. With the help of Jon on the ground. Jeremy showed up later and tripped the trunk. With Jon on the winch line.
