Cutting a broken top out of a tree

Andrew is now starting to mess with our minds. His video editing skills, are only equaled by his property management skills.

[@kman-mi7su]

If I were the homeowner, I'd have just paid Andrew to take the whole thing down. That lean towards the house would keep me up at night during windy bad weather. It looks like a timebomb waiting to go off and take out part of the house with it.

[@vidinwoodworker]

I wouldn't take the whole thing out but near the end of the video I would've taken the long left branch and the right hand branch also. they will break next ice storm.

[@SBow311]

For real! The amount of stress that was put on that tree, it's going to have water sprouts everywhere. It's going to look terrible.

[@juliatownsend2324]

I thought so to, chop it down.

[@marcryvon]

Those trees usually die after 25 years anyway. After that ice damage, it won't last more than 1 or 2 years at the most. Ask how I know...

[@TrevorDennis100]

If I was the home owner I'd have hired an arborist. It's too specialist a job for a bloke with a chainsaw, even if that bloke happens to be Andrew. When you compare the approach someone like August Hunicke makes to a job like this to how Andrew went about it, you'd have to agree Andrew looked a bit sketchy.

[@richternes6765]

WOW, as damaged as that tree was, I'm surprised that the homeowner didn't have it completely removed

[@blotafton]

When you like it a lot you give it a chance.

[@aserta]

Bad idea. Never have trees within 5 meters of your house in general. It's just asking for trouble. Not only from the top, but in the ground too. I was doing a survey years ago on a concrete basement house, and a Paulownia tree was strong enough to fit through a water drip hole, grow and crack the concrete.

[@tomre2769]

My thoughts too, believe I would have removed that one, even before it broke :-)

[@JoeMalovich]

They already had it cabled once

[@xsk8rat]

Birch like this, with a spread form, have to be evaluated continuously for risk to structures. Short lived and wood that weakens quickly. But very attractive!

[@rnewell3265]

You need to install and use a safety harness. Last fall we lost a tree trimmer in our area that was using a bucket without safety harness and there was a equipment problem that suddenly threw him out of the bucket to the ground and he was killed. Please be safe. He had is own business and was very experienced.

[@aboversite]

Agree. And for pity's sake, wear some ppe. You are not immortal. If something went sideways your liablity insurance (and the homeowners) would happily not pay a dime.

I can't say enough how much I love these videos. It's great how you make the shots tell a story without saying that much. Most guys like the sound of their own voice and give three minutes of commentary before each different part of the job.

[@tonynagy2042]

Looks good Andrew. I noticed that corner of the roof was quite weathered by that tree. I myself, would have suggested to the home owner, in removing that tree would be better for the house in the long run. Cheers, Glad to see your vid today. Hope there's more coming soon. Blessings!

[@OZ6JO]

This was to good. I only had one option - 5K 2880 60FPs - and that was more than my computer could handle. For the first time there was not an option to go to say 4K or less in quality.

@@shqa574 I think that’s two pieces of gear someone stuck together. Very nicely I might add.

[@northmantreeandgarden]

Dude, I really enjoy watching your work but this one...as a professional arborist there were so many risks and hazards in this vid. Notably the lack of PPE, helmet, harness etc and that Birch, complete removal in my book. It may regenerate some water sprouts from the main stem but in a couple years it will be rotten, Birches don't compartmentalize large wounds well. Plus it's completely off balance, most likely gonna split in two. Anyways, just be safe man so we can continue to enjoy watching you create.

[@aboversite]

Agree totally. Tree trimming is not one of his strengths. Best to stay in his lane, which is already plenty wide.

[@tomlorenzen4062]

ANDREW!!! Great to see ya once again. And to see you on a job, the first in over a yr if not longer, is great. Poor tree took a bad hit in that last storm you had there, but as you stated in a few yrs, should come back. Thin is, birch trees are pretty, but should never bee TOO close to those house, cause they get leggy. Best to have shrub's around the house and trees of variety away from the house. We have three large Pine that a former owner, never measuring how big they would get, planted them all almost right up against the side of our homes foundation and now, though I love pines, the middle one and a smaller one will have to be gut down this year, due to roots going to the side of the foundation of the house.

[@edvanandel]

Thanks for posting, Andrew. It’s been a while. Glad winter is over.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I'm only saying this because selfishly I want more videos and NOT because I am trying to be the safety police, but when dealing with dead/downed limbs that are snagged a helmet with face visor is never a bad idea. Stuff can shift in ways you don't expect and quicker than you can react.

[@benbrooks754]

He has a helmet like that I don’t know why he is not using it

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

You new here? This is Andrew. We install radios by cutting the dash with chainsaws, we leap off cranes that have lost brakes and went down a hill. We buy trucks that are pre-dented. Helmet? Face mask? Son, you make me chuckle with your safety talk.

[@WmSrite-pi8ck]

Good advice, but remember its hard to evaluate the conditions from a video. Camera lenses stretch and compress depth of field in funny ways that you can't react to unless you're a photographer. We are all responsible for our own safety in this world.

[@WmSrite-pi8ck]

eye protection is always smart when working with any power tools. you only have to get a piece of steel from grinding stuck behind your eyeball once to remember to put you safety specs on first. Or in my case five times.

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

I'm pretty sure what _we_ do is sit on our phones or computers and watch Andrew do all that stuff. Andrew tends to be lax with safety equipment, I hope it doesn't come back to bite him.

I know people that would rather have their house crunched then cut a tree. Trees are giga-expensive to have placed. In California, you can cut a tree that leans over your fence but if you cut your neighbors tree incorrectly they can sue for property damages, and the remediation/damages gets ugly real quick.

The Netflix location manager was super attentive and made sure everything was taken care of. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.
