Jacking over a dead Ash surrounded by power lines

2 years ago

Sitting at home today with my leg elevated, miss working so here's a throwback-to from a Facebook Live video I did exactly 2 years ago today, right here on the mountain just a few houses over from my house.

A neighbor had hired me to take down 2 trees, a dead Ash and a Black Walnut, but surrounded on 3 sides by power lines, and the dead Ash leaning to the house.

The black walnut I climbed and pieced down but the dead ash because of the position I couldn't top it without dropping the top on the homes roof.
So I installed a 6 ton jack, removed a couple fence boards from one section and put it down right between the fence posts, all on Facebook Live.

The original video was 33 minutes but I edited it down to 3 here for time.
