Title: Highest Removal I've Ever Done!!!!
Post by: Scott Derrick on April 17, 2008, 10:07:31 PM
Hi Everyone,

I did a removal on Wednesday what was the highest that I have ever done by far. I was at least 60 foot up a tree, well...in a high line bucket truck. Bucket truck or not, I was scared toooooo death! I ain't good with heights at all since I fell from 16 feet some year back and hurt myself badly. Needless to say I wasn't looking down at all. Not even on the way down.

Ohhh....check out the photo of a new "Southern Split"..... :-D
