It’s not practical and really itchy

[@watermouse9296]

I would love a beard like that. I have tried growing mine twice and about the year mark I think I look to much like a HOBO and eventually shave it off. I think right now I am on my 3rd - 1 year attempt due to covid, maybe ill let it go for two years and see what comes of it. Some people can grow a bad ass beard and others cant. Unfortunately I think I am in the "cant" category.

[@nelsonomicsruns9246]

Wow. This is my neighborhood- 3 blocks over. I remember this tree on their roof and didn't know it did that much damage. I was jogging around in the snow as my warmup and saw you guys starting your work here

Didn't harness up in the snow on a slippy roof, but does tie off to a tree when the roof is just wet. The roof was already damaged, safety first.

I cringed the whole time. It was very high in the front, with cars to land on. Not good.

Beards, are you English?

[@customcutter100]

Reminds me of when 3 hurricanes went through Polk county, Fl in less than a month years ago. The phosphate company I worked for was shut down due to high water. We sent cranes and crane trucks into Ft Meade and cut over 100 trees out of houses in the week that we were shut down. Our crews (welders and mechanics) didn't touch them unless they were in the roof. We had volunteers from as far away as Texas and Missouri with semi trucks set up as kitchens and even a laundry mat truck. They could serve 1000 hot meals a day.

[@FishFind3000]

That ladder needs to be 2-3 rings higher last thr edge of the roof. If it moves and it’s that shift it’s going down. Plus it’s not safe to get on and off the ladder like that. Having it higher gives you something to hold onto.

[@phogelbice]

Alright Sally

[@Suitednzooted11]

Very true, lots of times ladders will sink into soft dirt or slide a bit left or right and if you don't have a couple rungs about the edge you can take a ride easily. That's not a safety Sally thing, I've been roofing for a long time and it's a very good thing to do. Also, working on an icy, damaged roof without being tied off is not the best idea.

[@michaelfeliciano2834]

@@Suitednzooted11 I'm subscribed and admire your work and attention to detail. I'm also a former OSHA compliance officer that is keeping up with tree work and the laws. OSHA will see the improper ladder use and icy roof issue as IDLH (immediate danger to life and health). They would site under the 1910 standards and that could put a "serious Citation" on the company record. I helping defend a company here in NC this morning at 9am and this guy did everything right but his ground man was killed this past Sept. Not doing the same operation as yours but painful to go through for everyone involved. Stay safe.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

A ladder standoff is cheap insurance 👍

[@aus71383]

this, but 3-5 rungs above roof line, 3 feet minimum

[@harharciggare]

Probably a weird feeling putting nails in a tree you know you have to cut later

[@saitekina_og9271]

you know these group of guys are legit when they come over and tarp the roof I KNOW for a fact other guys would say " oh thats not our job...you need a roofer to come and tarp the roof we dont do that" my respect for these guys

[@tommak6516]

It looked like there was nothing wrong with the blue tarp that was already on there.

[@brucknerian9664]

Standing and working so close to the edge of the roof, makes me think I've got Vertigo. You guys are awesome; homeowner was very courteous--called the right guys for the job.

[@Iron_Owlz]

The home owner seemed like such a nice guy, and he has such a nice back garden.

[@FlukeTog]

Ever screw in 1300-1800 grip stubs in wading boots ? Not for roofs but other stuff. I do that a lot on the other coast. Man such a calm work attitude on roofs. I’ve never seen so little yelling. I think that’s why I watch these it’s like an alternate work universe. Even the homeowner is mad cool. After so many years around screaming roofers and maniac crews from Manhattan to Oregon these calm meditation videos bring a tear to me eye.

[@gadgetroyster]

Jake, I love the explanations and stress on safety you provide. As an old retired Airconditioning mechanic who never had any serious injury, I do notice one thing that could make your safety even better is that I noticed that the ladder you were using ended at the roof line. I always felt safer when the ladder extended at least another two rungs as there was something to hang onto when stepping off or onto the ladder. And by the way always face the ladder going up and down.

[@321jono]

I laughed harder than I should have when you "lifted" the tree.

[@ianbruce4314]

[@Bruceyenzer]

Lots of helpful tips! Now when I go to buy an axe, I'll purposely take someone with me so I can sound smart when I tell them about the grain direction. 😂

[@BoWallenUSA]

And don't buy anything that has the end of the shaft painted. It's a cover-up of bad grain direction.

Great video. Dealing with trees on my property in Wisconsin now. Cyclone/Tornado/Straight Line Wind Storm came through 6-15-22. Watched 70’ white and red pines corkscrew and lean- smashing into each other. None fell on house- fortunately! Some uprooted, some snapped off 1/2 to 1/3 up. One 60’, 20” diameter bent over house like it was a sapling full of snow- never snapped. Now assessing which trees need to go. Don’t want to sleep under trees any more, as much as I enjoy them.

[@Maczust63]

@@radred609 some fungi is parasitic and will actually kill your tree. Other fungi usually just breaks down dead plants and wood. Insides of most trees are non conductive dead tissue, some species have tanins, lignin and heartwood thats is more decay resistant then other trees. Some fungi is living in the organic layer of your soil or grass and isn't a problem (lawn more mushrooms) so identifying the fungus or fruiting structure is important. Keep mulch away from the trunk and have a clear trunk flare, avoid root damage and excess water pooling.
