This is at one of my property's, A old mill turned into a 300+ Apt building. All summer I have been asked, When are you going to trim that tree, You missed one, Need my ladder, Even the owner asked how much to put Christmas lights on. I Need some good come back lines.:laugh:
Also if you look real close in the first pic (right)side the little black spot are bees the camera did not pick up all of them but "hundreds"
So just keep that in mind on your price:hammerhead:

Tell them to start the furnace!

Choppers run and what? $1500/hr!

[Jason Rose]

Now there's a tree with a will to live! Would be pretty cool to see the base of the thing from in the stack, surely there's a hole somewhere at the bottom to peer into.

Iv'e seen a abandoned grain silo, small diameter type, with a tree growing out of it before. But that's only maybe 25 feet tall or so.

Is that tree actually growing from the bottom of the stack, or just a seedling that lodged in the side near the top?

Very nice how you arranged the photos, starting with the zoom showing just the top, then all the way down to the whole building. Very interesting architecture, do you have some idea when it was built? Thanks for sharing!

Bill no joke I was driving through Franklin the other day past the high school and I was like "Jesus, there is a tree growing out of that old smoke stack. That should be fun tfor whoever has to get that down!" lol Sorry it has to be you.

Not a chance

Ask your insurance company if youre covered atop a 100' stack!

[Eric D]

Do you know anyone with a helicopter in your area? Might have them drop you off up there to do the trimming and pick you up once you’re done.:laugh:

[KINGSBURYLANDSCAPELLC]

maybe you can talk the fire department to help you out

I believe it's lodged in the masonry at the top.

I had to look today it was built in 1864. It was a woolen mill, until the late 70's now VERY nice Apartments. 35-40 yrs ago I used to sell kool-aid to the workers at lunch time:dizzy:

I would love some aerial pictures of my properties

[Edgewater]

Is that in Manchester. I was through there in September, right after the big storm. I think I saw some of your trucks at a Fire side Inn hotel, is that possible?

These photos are in Franklin, North of Concord.
I do not go that far South, Concord is about it.

Those tree roots are definately going to destroy the masonry up there. A good wind storm can bring tree and how ever many bricks are involved down onto the nice apts.
Perhaps the Historical Society or the Insurance Company for the apts will pay for some help. Even that crane in the background. Just spraying the tree will help. Its a shame because it looks kinda neat up there.

using the building for a reference that stack looks to be 100-120 feet tall.

W have a developer here that just bought an abandon pickle factory to do the same thing.

[MarcSmith]

rent a high reach. they have big ones. Ours on campus goes to 120' feet....I'd do the trimming in January when the bees are nice and cold/dead....If the tree is left there. it will eventually start popping the bricks out....I'd push for removal just to be done with it....

Also with the tree now higher than the Lightning rod, the Lightning rod is all but useless...

I wish I could find something to explain how lightning rods work. If you have a bolt of lighting that has just traveled thousands of feet to hit something, why would it or would it not hit the lightning rod? Are you attracting the lightning by have a rod sticking up?

Sorry, just something I’ve never been able to understand…:confused:

yeah pretty much, you want the lightning to hit the rod, and not the structure. the rod and its wires offer the path of the least resistance to the ground. It allows the charges int he groud a place to go rather be built in a structure

where as other items offer much more resistance and as a result the destructive force is unleashed.
