Wow, Jay, some big trees...and a nice place. I know Ontario is big, but I used to go there to steel plants a lot before I retired. Stelco in Nanticoke, stayed in Simcoe, or down to Port Dover, but not on a Friday the 13th!! And Dofasco in Hamilton. Love Canada, before celiac, my favorite color was Blue. Couldn't pass a Tim Hortons (darn, I still have money on my Timmy card, none close to here). Bring home some Cubans (not the people). Beer Store??? Wonder what they sell?? haha... In 2017, my Mustang was hit at a Beer Store at 11 am, by some big Ram truck with a Santa Claus-looking driver who was half in the bag, and I learned about Canada's no-fault insurance.I find allot of rental places also have reasonable delivery rates.
Make no mistake, it's still allot of work, but less and easier clean-up I find. You can also do better end work on roots without the last piece always sticking up. I'm guessing if you did all that digging by hand, playing with a stumper will be a rewarding day.
This was my place when I moved in, and I'm not anti-tree by any means, but they were all dead, dying, or where my new house is going. They've all been felled and most stumped, but I have 5 stumps to do this week, if the rain holds off. I'll gets some photos/video if I can make it work.
I also rented a 120 foot boom for a day, as the roadside and property line trees all leaned the wrong way, and we worked from the top down. Cost me $3K complete, and the contractor quoted me $24K.
I swore I could feel it, but maybe it was the 2 nuns and Madonna with child staring at me? circa 1996.Trevor, we were down in Sedona yesterday and went by this place. It didn't work I still never felt a thing!
Thank you, the place is a wreck, but the property is decent and starting to come together. Had 32 loads of back fill dropped this week, hoping to knock it down and rebuild frech within 18 months.
Love the lake perch at the Erie Beach Hotel...
Climbing arborist would probably do this with 400$/tree (two man job, few hours each tree, prolly less if you just allow free fall drops on the blocks) for felling. Add garbage charge & few hours more for site clearance.
Sadly that is the going rate here. 5 of the 70 foot trees were fully dead, 2 of those stretched over 100 feet. No one in their right mind is climbing a dead 100 foot poplar. Three of the biggest also had a 25 degree lean, directly over my neighbour's house.
Damn that is harsh.. Have to wonder why it's so expensive over there. Did all the loggers there grow old and quit or something?
Why in tarnation did you have to include that white blob in the foreground, photo bomber?I don't work on Fridays anymore, so this morning the Ranger was used to make a trip to the hardware store for a few around the house projects.
Then I cheated on the diet and ate at Wendy's, lol.
I've had it for 10 months and it just clicked over 1,500 miles on it today. I have been driving it more since going part time.
Just look at that sexy Supercab parked way, way out there.
"Rear seat delete, cuz!!"
You are a good friend.I loaned a friend my Ranger because he broke his Rubicon and they had a trip planned. They left Sunday night, and were coming home today. He just msgd me saying they were stuck in the mud 7 hours, gonna be a day late. Sounds fishy, I think he's in love and doesn't want to bring it back
