The Dynamic Duo, mighty work Tim and Rook, that was a tangled mess💯👌👍👍🙏😎

Glad you all were Called. Nice Job

I always enjoyed doing storm cleanup while working for the city parks & recreation maintenance crew first as a common laborer then worked my way up to equipment operator - i loved my 6500 Ford tractor ( 1975 model ) with any of its attachments - i then became the gangmower operator ( Jacobsen E10 with 5 42" blitzer mower )

As always , you two make a great team. Nice work 👍👍

Glad you enjoyed it

I can't feel the adrenaline part of the job of course but what I do enjoy about these kinds of jobs is saving stuff and.... helping someone in a helpless situation. I had a windstorm knock several large trees down on our cabin once. Too big of a job for me. I can cut firewood but no way I can climb a tree or hoist a tree upright again that is leaning on a building before piecing it out. There is a helpless feeling when you are used do doing things yourself. So, I had to call in experts that can do that kind of work. So, it is great watching a building being saved or getting to a place where now the repairs can start.

Awesome work No more damage than was there to begin with. Stay safe

That tree should have been cut a while ago, sadly it was not done for what ever reason. Great work and thank you. Have a great week.

Thanks for watching!

I'm already itching just looking at all that poison ivy.....good job....

Been watching American KZread articles for 8 years now, and the strange thing is the huge trees around every home, when I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s all my elders told me never permit tree's fo get so dangerous, it's actually apart of the insurance policy here, and we get a thousand earthquakes per year, 7:23

I call trees like that the "Next Year Tree"........ Maybe we can take down "Next Year". Looks like mother nature got tired of waiting.

Awesome Job!!

Limb heck that's a entire tree lol. Love the videos.... great content

Algoma? Tim, you were just around the corner from me. There were some bad wind that came through Saturday.

Workings around poison ivy, I always use tecnu extreme ivy scrub wash after, great stuff.

Me, Lindsey, and the boys were going to come down there and watch y’all work but y’all had left by the time Lindsey realized how close y’all were to us. I live like 5 minutes from there.

Having the right toys (equipment) definitely makes a job safer and easier. You mentioned poison ivy on a tree in the video. You have mentioned before what your defense for working around poison ivy. Could you mention it again in more videos. You made some cuts from the bottom at an angle then finished the cut from the top down. Is the purpose of the angled cut to prevent the branch from falling? Another good video.

Great group together. Later tater. 🤟

Boy, I feel sorry for the owner. The way the (*)^% insurance companies work, he won't get .10 on the dollar for the damage. Reminds me of post Katrina down here in South MS. We had to deal with a lot of these situations on houses, without a tree mech or any equipment except tractors. We did have two secret weapons, though. One was one of our folks was a former tree service guy who had a lot of kinetic ropes and tackle and the other was about 20 young boatswains mates from the USS John C Stennis which was in the shipyard in Washington getting a refit, so the Navy sent them to help. You get those boys a rope and some leverage, they could do the rest. Experts in "heave ho" and line handling (and young and stout to boot)! The ladies kept those boys fed pretty good, too. That tree mek is the bomb for doing this kind of work, makes it much safer and faster. As you know, cutting a big tree off a structure or hung up can be a dangerous business, especially if you can't see how the thing is loaded.

Is there anything a sweet gum is good for besides destruction? Man, I hate those things!

Howdy cotton

Can Rook take the grapple off of the fly-jib and have it mounted on to the main jib?

Phew Rook didn't grab you by a leg and put you up on top to blow off the metal. Phew.

I have a question even though you don’t work for you dad anymore do you still talk to him the reason I am asking is I lost my dad to a massive heart attack back in 2021 so I don’t have the luxury anymore

You undoubtedly are allergic to poison ivy? I can look at that stuff from 100 ft away and I am going to break out .

My bet is this.the building was scabbed together rotted out and rat - ridden.buddy insured it to the tits and waited for the tree to rot off
