Thanks Zach, that was an awesome day, your upbeat and positive attitude were amazing for moral, we all enjoyed it. And to answer some simple questions, all of the neighbors were notified of what was going on weeks in advance, and were all very accommodating, the neighbor across the alley, which we had blocked off, were even so kind as to allow us the use of their driveway, overall the entire job went even more smoothly than I had expected, it was a great experience. Thanks Zach you were awesome buddy!

It is lovely to hear from the property owner. Whenever I watch these kinds of videos I always want to add that all of us on the internet are very grateful that property owners allow us to see the work 1. I learn more about my own work in my trees here in the UK (although I don't do high work like this!) and 2. we all learn about other countries and other parts of our own country and climate and people and houses and plants so it is generally educational too. biggest takeaway from the huge USA is everything is much bigger than in our tiny UK where houses and yards/gardens are usually so much smaller and land so scarce. Our new neighbours who have not moved in yet just had an absolutely massive tree removed in similar way but did not bother to tell any of the neighbours which is not a very good start to hopefully a good relationship all round.

Bro as an old man with torn right inner knee ..I can attest..nothing is worse than roofs ..I used to like them now I'm terrified mainly of myself not being able to jump or land and get footing. If I had to jump or slide off like old days it would be over fir me...alot of times I find myself on roof with polesaw. Usually because no high tie in or being solo...to point of giving up 3 broke trucks broken machine .and was acuttualy healing up.until this last 2 weeks been nothing gone wright..except the Hackberry job .with the grcs ..went great..it acuttualy came lose on last peice..but had 2 ropes ..so worked out ..my only good help is 69 year old man..God bless

Great work Zach! Liked seeing all of the rigging. Rob's job looked a little sketchy though, not just from dropping limbs on him, but with him falling thru the roof due to rot and the open holes. I went to a funeral where a young 20 year old fell thru a roof and died, he was tied in, but hit something on the way down. His coworkers thought they'd just hoist him back up. A similar thing had happened earlier on the same job, but that guy was okay except for being banged up. One of them fell thru a skylight, the other fell thru the aluminum roofing. Be safe out there.

Hi Zach, thanks for another awesome video. Really appreciate all of your explantations of each step of the process. You are a very positive and encouraging person and I'm sure the teams that work with you appreciate that. It is crazy how the hole in the roof was at the perfect spot to send you Chainsaw through to get a new battery. That couldn't have worked out and better and turned out to be the perfect size. I was a little worried with that large piece of the trunk. Glad that you were able to keep control of it as it would have been a disaster if it fell. It is awesome that the guy riding up with the rope was able to hang on and not lose his grip. Just recently found your channel and really enjoy watching your videos. I saw your Short video about the baby Squirrel that paid you a visit during your lunch break awhile back. The closeup view was really amazing and how big it's back legs were. How did that end when the squirrel jumped toward your head? Glad that you were able to stay calm and not freakout. Congratulations on reaching 29,700 subs and so close to 30,000.

Well done guys. Gotta love lowering right into the trailer. Some other options I would have considered would be: to have Rob in the neighbors' back yard instead of on the roof, either anchoring a portawrap to a truck (or to the base, popping off a couple fence boards), or using a high friction system, like a fatty rope and rings or safebloc, and hand lowering... and for the brush maybe using a high speedline anchored on the far tree and doing some controlled speedlining. And for the last part, could have been nice to set a rigging point in the tree that the GRCS is anchored to. But yall crushed it the way you did it.

Those were definitely two possibilities. I heavily considered a controlled speedline but neither that nor span rigging wpukd have offered enough clearance over the roof for the trunk wood on the first tree. Transfer rigging offered that plus a little more control than span rigging so I chose to go with transfer. I do have a controlled speedline video coming up thats going to be pretty sweet.

@krismarie4837 Great question! Gas saws are great and have had many, many years to be perfected. Electric saws are new and still have lots of room for improvement, but even though they could be better, they have some features now that make them really nice to climb with. For example, it's really nice to not have to start a chainsaw while I'm un in the tree and they don't make as much noise so it leaves communication open in case someone needs to say something at the last minute. On the downside, that little electric saw did have enough power to make those big cuts on that bigger wood very efficiently, so I used a gas saw for that. If I had a bigger electric saw, I would have used it.

Especially if they have to approach and edge. It's just harder to see everything. It's bad for the roof to lay big pieces of brush on the roof. Obviously this on already had holes in it, but bossman was adamant we were not allowed to cause further damage and I certainly wouldn't want to anyway. For the same reason we woukdnt be abke to lay pieces of wood down to cut them up. I probably wpukd have had to rig smaller pieces to get them to fit on the roof. Thanks!

@zaccheus24 күн бұрын
@deadmanswife3625 Haha, a bike helmet is better than nothing, but don't put too much confidence in it. A helmet is for protecting you from falling objects as much as it's for protecting you from bumping your head. The ropes, harnesses, and devices I climb on are all really expensive I'm happy to link them in the video description, but I wpuodnt expect anyone to want to buy them unless they could make money with them. There are some more cost-effective methods out there that are maybe a bit better for getting started with. I can make a video about that specifically if that would be helpful for you.

What was the homeowner who,planted those trees 40-years ago thinking?
@zaccheus24 күн бұрын
They were probably volunteers. Maple seeds are really good at getting caught in little places like between the garage and the fence there. This was a bit of a lower income neighborhood and I imagine it was unlikely that anyone really cared much about it until it lost some big limbs and punched a hole in the roof.

Is that span rigging?
@zaccheus24 күн бұрын
@Kaizen747 some might call it that, but I woukd call this transfer rigging as the load is transfered from one system to the next. In my mind, span rigging is when you use just one rope between two high points and the load hangs from a block, pulley or carabiner that is latch onto the rope.

Oh my gosh I had the Milwaukee top handle and I absolutely hated it it's extremely extremely heavy and has horrible ergonomics if it's just a saw to get you through to a better one than it's decent but other than that oh my gosh
@zaccheus23 күн бұрын
@florpdorp7190 I'm sorry you had that experience. I quote love the ergonomics of the large side handle. It is pretty heavy with the 12.0 battery, but with the new 8.0 batteries that just came out, I think it'll run a little better. I like it better than the husky electric saw for sure.

@chriss2981 I'm just a contract climber so I don't get to choose the cards we play with. We did talk about a crane though. It would have involved dropping some wires and even then it was just a really tight space with a small set down area. It probably could have been done with a small knuckleboom, but everyone around here only has big ones.

At the start of your video, there was a tree in the neighbor's yard by the front sidewalk that has limbs cut off...you should cut down the rest of the tree for them. It looks unsightly as it is. OMG, the weaving of your camera from those heights is making me "sea sick" or should I call it "see sick!"

What do you do when an A-hole neighbor starts complaining about sawdust and chips blowing into his yard?
@zaccheus24 күн бұрын
@robertgarrett7007 Mmm I try to be as accommodating as possible and maybe get the property owner you're working for involved. They're the ones who have to deal with the neighbor after you leave and they're also the most incentivised to get the tree down. Obviously offering to clean up the neighbors yard is important. If they have a pool or something, maybe pause long enough for them to get it covered. Coming back on a different day with different wind is the last resort. It is a tough problem to solve. There are extreme measures, but nobody ever wants to pay for them.
