I have a couple of new projects coming up just as soon as the weather changes...

A Black Spruce along side the Trans Canada highway

A White Birch between two cottage buildings ...

That first one is an easy fix. Just tilt the camera a little to the right.

I was hoping it might stand itself back up in the Spring.

Jeff · « **Reply #3 on:** January 16, 2004, 06:43:50 pm »

Is that the one with the roots up in the air?

Kevin · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2004, 07:02:16 pm »

That's it.
Maybe I could just paint it blue.

Jeff · « **Reply #5 on:** January 16, 2004, 08:03:43 pm »

I wonder if you could pull it back straight with a come along and then pin it down with some steel fence posts.

It's a jungle out there.

It be alot easyer ifin that line wasn't there.
You got it figured out yet hows you gonna take it down, all that calculating give you any ideas...

Here's where ya get out yur throw bag to set yur rope or ropes. Those black spruce are purty tough and usually pull purty easy. But yur rope needs lots of height.
Sometimes when faced with a tree like that, that I don't know will HANG on I will use two ropes in it, each pulling at a 30 to 45 degree angle.
Or....... ya could always climb it and jump the top over the cable.

There's a few ways to tackle this one that I see.
Two as Chet described and a third where I partialy cut the butt and let the top rest gently on the strand then go up trim the top off close to the cable and come back down, finish the cut and let the tree drop to the ground.

Jeeze Kevin,

You're overlooking the obvious and easy way to do it. I'd tell you but you always make fun of my brilliance

Anyway it would take a helper. Can you get anyone to work with you?

Kevin · « **Reply #11 on:** January 17, 2004, 07:14:03 am »

Bro; helpers aren't in our budget.

What's your suggestion?
They won't let me burn it down or blow it up.

... and I'm not dropping the cable.

Chet · « **Reply #12 on:** January 17, 2004, 07:38:18 am »

Kevin, yur option wouldn't work for me. The folks I work for frown on the idea of resting trees on high voltage lines. Seems to always blow power. :-/ They also aren't as tough as dem big fat Com cables.

Here's a shot from my office yesterday --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!--.com/photo/26601181/111838517pkJIsw

Kevin,

Well never mind then, I figgered I was wasting my time :-/

Wes · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2004, 11:15:57 am »

Looks like a bucket truck job, or possibly a crane.

Or if you get a good heavy snow it may come down by itself, then it will be an easy one.

Kevin · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2004, 12:00:27 pm »

It's going to be a climb the rope and saw job.

Get a 1010 John Deere with loader bucket. Raise it as high as it will go and push the tree back into the woods.

Stan · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2004, 07:29:30 pm »

Have the phone company come out and lay the cable on the ground. No harm no foul, this don't work with electric lines. :-/
