    A few days ago, we had a little project. A small dead blue spruce tree at the police department needed to be removed. The boom couldn't quite reach it from the street and with a row of windows to the left, bollards and handicap railing toward the street and no drop zone to the right the only reasonable choice? Climb the little guy and rope the top to itself, lower it down and cut firewood on the way down. This one was fun and luckily, I had a groundman who had time to snap a pic.
