That's a young guy's job, ain't it Ken? I'm looking at painting that has to be done on our second story, and I ain't going to do it.

I wouldn't like climbing 30 or 40 feet up that thing with a chain saw in one hand.

Until August, a friend of mine did tree work. He'd climb the tree, rope off, and go to work.

In August, something went wrong and he fell 50'. Shattered the bones in one leg as well as his ankle. He won't be doing any more tree work for quite some time.

He's luck to be alive.

Those guys really knew what they were doing, but I wouldn't like climbing 30 or 40 feet up that thing with a chain saw in one hand.

LOL... that's why we just had two dead/dying sycamores removed by professionals. They were about 60 feet tall give or take... we had three men here and they were awesome!
