Our daughter rents her house from my 1st cousin. Insurance company was going to cancel the policy if he didn't get the limbs from overhanging the house and the brush/vines cleaned out around the pump house and shed. He contacted us for the job. We rented a 32' Genie lift Friday morning and got to work... We had 2 pecan trees and 2 water oak trees to trim, plus we took down a dying rotten maple. Oak limbs... Pecan limbs Pump house and shed Started on the pecan trees first While we let the batteries charge some, we cleaned out around the buildings Grapple full of chinaberry tree, privet hedge and wisteria vines Clean all around now Water oaks were next. They are a PITA, little twigs come off all the branches, hangs up everything. Dying maple... The end results... Got a few pieces of pecan wood And a nice little pile of oak...
Hey T Jeff, Whats the old building in the background on the right side? Does that have your name on it? Was that an old gas station or store of some kind??
Nice work jeff! I’ll bet his premiums will go down now that he removed the risk for the insurance company.I think I’d be shopping for a new insurance provider! Not that they should assume unnecessary risk, but there’s a lot of houses with branches hanging over them and the insurance agents aren’t spending the clients money on tree work. The after pic looks really nice. You did a great job
Good work T.Jeff Veal but that's nothing new. I love old country stores/ family gas stations buildings. Disappearing breed for sure.
Kudos T.Jeff. After experiencing lift work, I think battery saws are very useful. I’d think so climbing too.
Nice job there Jeff and family. The vines looked like fun to remove. Reminds me of what ive gone through for BL here. Did you let Ms. Carol try going up in the lift?
That's our old store. My granddaddy started the original store, a wooden building, in 1898. He was Sr, the T.Jeff Veal name has been carried down 5 generations. My dad ran the store from 1967-1980 as a country store, from '80 till he passed in '01, he built furniture. I helped him different times and ran it a few years after he passed.
She just said "HECK NAW"...... She helped move a few limbs by hand away from the lift, then got seat time on the 'bota piling the limbs and moving wood
