Ding Dong the witch is dead
The ficus tree is on the curb.
The biggest of those logs is about 1000 pounds. I hope the claw truck is working well. Not bad work for an old guy tho. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/fichus%20killer.jpg http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Tree%20on%20the%20curb.jpg I am guessing 3 18 wheelers http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Hort%20pile%2010-21.jpg |

You know, I looked around and those duck ****ers were nowhere to be seen. My neighbor came over to help but he slipped away as soon as he could. I go a little too fast for most people and I don't stop very often. I don't know how many tons of hort I moved in the last several weeks but a smaller part of that tree was 8 tons when I took it down several years ago and it filled a 30 yard dumpster. That was just the biggest tree. We had lots of stuff down here. I just found out I am taking down another one here tomorrow, a 30' sea grape. |

Then you'd probably be down to a couple deuce-and-a-halfs. |

Then you'd probably be down to a couple deuce-and-a-halfs. I haven't seen a chipper with a 3 foot throat. The county says they are planning on 2.5 to 3 million yards of stuff so the chipper method might be to slow. They are here with a gradall and 10 yard dump trucks. It is going to be a while for that too. Last time (Charley) they had 18 wheelers. That was a contractor, this is county DOT. |

The biggest chipper I've seen (and used) would take up to 12" (according to the manufacturer). About the biggest we put in it was 8-10". No, the ficus wouldn't go there! I was thinking the piles in your last picture. |

There are some "surprises" in those piles too ;-) I agree it would be more efficient if they chipped everything up on site but they are looking for speed right now. We are going into the dry season and they don't want big piles of kindling along the side of the road all over the county. |
