Trimming low hanging limbs on the MANY trees on our property
Over the last couple weeks we have been trimming low hanging
limbs on the MANY trees on our property. These are pictures of my Left and
Right arms, Battle Wounds of Tree Trimming Yesterday, July 19, 2019.
Left Arm
I have Hereditary Thin Skin from my Father side, sun
exposure and Possible Chemical Exposure from working in a Laboratory for years.
Almost all my Co-Workers also had Thin Skin.
I was on an Extension Ladder about 20’ up cutting a 10”
Diameter Limb on a White Oak tree, with
my Husqvarna 24” Gas Powered Chain Saw when the limb swung down and pinned my
arm and the chain saw to the side of the Ladder. Luckily, Susan was down
steading the ladder and was able to move the tree limb enough that I could
finish the cut and the limb fell without hitting the ladder again. After finishing
trimming the limbs on the tree, I also felled a 20” diameter and 40’ tall Sweet
Gum tree that the top and bottom of the tree was dying. I cut the rotten pieces
of the tree off and burned them on our burn pile and saved the good wood for
the fireplace.
We still have about 30 trees to finish and 3 more trees to
fall. One tree is a dead Water Oak, about 100’ tall and 50 or more” in Diameter.
