    fell a bunch of small oaks, and one slightly bigger dead one. Easy except for close to a phone cable and a bunch of branches hanging over the fence. Took a while but got most of them down safely. No damage to the cable or fence. Still going to climb the ladder and drop a few more tomorrow. Brush will get hauled off Friday.

    Good to get the oaks. Not so sure about climbing that ladder though. But you no doubt can handle it.

    I avoid it if at all possible. Cutting on ladders is not fun, safe or enjoyable....But couldn’t turn down the cash, it was paying for a new to me trailer. Finished up today, no injuries, no problem. These trees were not ones you could climb either, proper way would have been a bucket truck, and/or pole saw. That would have made it a non-cost effective venture. I knew the owner, knew her property, so no biggy. Bunch of smaller live oaks, besides the big rotten one.
