He would be a lot safer if they cut a proper notch in the tree, even when using an excavator to push the tree over it's wise to follow proper procedure, usually 30-45 degrees. You want your notch big enough so that it doesn't close until the tree is on the ground. The notch closing while the tree is falling is what causes the tree to hop and kick back. Also you want your escape route to be 45 degrees from the direction of the notch, not straight back or to the side. Be safe out there guys!

You have help me greatly as i have an aquired brain injury and cannot work to support my family.

The one thing that red oak needed was a wide notch to keep it attached to the stump as it fell - I was surprised that the notch you used was barely wider than a saw cut. The result being that the tree separated from the stump pretty much as soon as it began to fall, making it about as safe as a loose cannon - even with the excavator pushing it, you were rather fortunate that it didn't jump away from you and cause some damage. I wouldn't of course mention anything about the lack of PPE ;-)...

If you notch trees a bit wider, the hinge will stay attached for longer and felling becomes more controlled. On the last tree the hinge broke when sides of the notch touched and the trunk was at about 75 degrees and became kinda unstable. Just saying :-) Love the variety of jobs you get to do!

The 160 sure looks big from around 5 minute angle. Is that the wide angle lens perspective thing? That was a nicely done undercut Chris. It fair threw the tree away from the stump. From my understanding watching Buckin' Billy Ray Smith and Tim (Cotontop3) it's dead trees like that that are likely to barber chair on you, so your Tim was being sensible getting out of the way just in case. Tim O'Bryant gets pretty damn agitated with some dead trees, but at least he never climbs them. My heart is in my mouth sometimes when watch Buckin' and August Hunicke's crew climb frighteningly thin and very dead looking trees at times. I guess they do try and rope to another good tree, but I wouldn't like the experience the lateral swing into the trunk that the second rope is hanging from. Yep. Push them over with the excavator makes way more sense.

Basement is the cheapest part of the house why not put it under the whole house. Also you need a laser setup on your excavator. Local guy here in Illinois has one with a 5 foot flat bucket and he digs them nats ass on. When it rains in the basement you can see just how perfect to grade he is. He evan cuts out and additional 4 inches around the perimeter to get the footing to the correct height and not need all of the fill in the floor area. Makes installing a french drain on the perimeter a snap.
