    Do not try this t home. Used the DeWalt 20v pole saw off the ladder to cut off the dead limbs. The low ones on the other side I reached from the ground. Need the 14' stepladder to get the others above the roof on the gable end. IMG_5642.JPG
    You can see the lean of the tree too. Good size DBH. IMG_5637.JPG

    One third was pretty bad. I had to wet first then saturate with product. Left to PU more and when I came back I could see a change in color to a yellow vs the darker green. I work for the lady on a regular basis so I'll have to see how the release factor is. IMG_5638.JPG

    How did I miss this thread! I have this listing saved in my Marketplace favorites and it’s still available.

    I debated this one and here was my thought process: “Oh nice! That’s close! And those are some big rounds. I have an MS250 that’s slightly over bared at 18”……it’s also hotter than heck out there….and I’d be cutting in chaps and a helmet….”

    So I opted for a score that was already cut. Which is slightly less fun in the scheme of things. But damm, it was hot this week.

    Job I did recently took me by this a few times. It had been picked at and some still left. Bigger logs and gnarlier chunks. Couldn't hit my other score so I decided to go here. Well wouldn't ya know it only a bit left and not worth taking. Go figure. I snoozed too long.
