The man lift was really pretty cool. It was a 2 man, fully articulated
thing, self propelled with something like a 30 foot up, 14 foot out
boom. It really made taking that tree out in small chunks easy.
I had to make it small enough to go in a dumpster.

After Irma I took down the other half the good old Paul Bunyon way. I
notched it and dropped the whole thing up on FPL in one piece, then
cut it into chunks I could drag with the truck and hauled it out
front.

My brother-in-law has convinced me to rent a scissor type lift rather
than the Genie boom type man lift to reach 26-28 feet up. He claims the
basket is more stable ...less shaking.


How close can you get the lift to the wall?

Pretty much right up next to it. The arm has 3 joints in it so you can
go straight up and then go out.
