    Good job!

    I need to rent a lift to trim some ash hangers at my house.

    Lol, that sounds like a personal problem.:rofl: :lol:

    Look up Ace Tree Management on YouTube. They are a tree service in Australia that uses a 70-meter (!) tower for removals and pruning. 230 feet up and wielding a chainsaw? No thank you.

    They are planning on a 100-meter tower crane.

    Nope, not doing that!!!

    My brother used to work for the company that had the electricians contract at our Reds stadium. He's been up on those towers a few times changing out lights!!! As much as I hate heights and as much as he loves them I sometimes wonder how we came from the same family.

    Should try it in a 45mph wind :rootintootin: worst part of that is trying to work on anything you sway left, work sways right and the rest of everything else sways six other directions :hair:

    When I was taking down the smaller locust the wind picked up. It wasn't 45mph but it was enough to sway me 6" or so. What was worse is even with my mesh goggles on the sawdust went right into my eyes and temporarily blinded me.

    That's bad when stuffs flying in your face... I dealt with the wind and snow last night it gets bad when you have to face into it. Your eyes water terrible and start to get icicles and the worst is when it makes you not be able to breath because of the amount of wind and snow
