Waaayyy the heck up there

[uncledj]

Had some rather large, dead branches way up high on a tree, overhanging where I usually park the cars, so I rented a 55' lift to get up there and cut them down.   The lift BARELY got me there, but I got 'er dun.

Was a bit squirrely up that high running a saw, leaning over the side of the basket.

The main branch that I was worried about was on the tree to the right, just at the Y.

Yea, scary but fun stuff.

I always thought of one of those as a deer stand.

Best just leave them there branches and park the car somewhere else. Those branches got put up there for a reason, and I wouldn't argue about the reasoning.

I have a blue spruce on the front lawn roughly 60 to 70 feet tall and always dreamed of renting  one of those to do it up as a giant Christmas tree.
