This week I sold my first arborist job cutting down a tree grown over a deck.

Despite a few equipment setbacks the tree came down without doing any damage, the (White) customer was happy and is going to hire me again, and I was able to employ a couple of (White) kids as labour; I trained them how to use ratchet straps, a nearly lost art.

I'm not going to unseat Satan and his children from the throne of this world, but I'm going to ensure the continuity and strength of the Children of God.

Well, the difficult part is to make sure the tree absolutely falls in the direction you want it to, without damaging anything.

My brother has this problem, he has a house surrounded by long, tall trees, and in order to cut down a tree he has to make sure they fall in a way without destroying anything, including the fence. So in some cases it's necessary to climb up a tree and cut it partially.

It's not easy to deal with such problems, and any mistake can lead to a lot of damage. That makes it difficult. An easy job would be to do it in a forest, where mistakes barely matter and can be easily fixed or ignored.

I've felled plenty of trees in my time. I prefer unpowere hand tools just for the skill of it and to stay fit.

But I was really hoping to hear how WeedleTLiar does it because he seemed excited to express himself and I'm excited to hear about it.

I mentioned elsewhere, this wasn't a huge teee so I was able to get well above my cuts with an extension ladder to tie straps. I've done more work with booms and the like but I'd love to find someone who knows how to free climb.
