I see that a bit when people pick out trees they want to keep out of the forrest. When you remove the forrest from around a tree they like to fall over when the full force of the wind hits them. Root system grow accoding to demand.
Todd I think that had something to do with it. It was one of the tallest trees left standing on site other than one lone pine, so I guess it acted as a lightening rod.
It is hard to believe some of the trees that they protect. More than once we have had a dead tree barricaded and the it is big deal if you ask if they want it down. Lightning striking the gum was pretty funny. I am surprised they did not have to get the city people to come out and look at it to make sure it actually struck.
I figured you've seen the same lunacy LC. We all got a laugh out of it.
Locally it's not so much about the existing trees as it is about the new landscaping. One city has a tree inspector who measures the calipers of new trees planted in order to make sure they meet the city's requirements.
Cory, how come you don't do you own sewer/water? And I love that 321, looks perfect for utility work.
Aliate Alabama has a screwy law that states only a licensed plumber can run from the lateral/meter to the building for both sewer and water. Once the lateral or service line leaves the ROW only a plumber can do it.
To answer the question I'm not set up to run main line sewer and water, I can do main line projects under $50K in value under my commercial license but my crew doesn't have the experience neither do I. The funny thing is the 4" or 6" sewer from the building to the lateral is the easy part.:beatsme However we stay busy enough with demo, grading and storm sewer. If I had the time I'd get my masters card but there's only so many hours in the week.
The 321 is perfect for what we do from demo to running storm in tight tie ins.
