Showerthought: I had a perfect three day storm damage cleanup in Springfield last week

We got a call for a huge silver maple that split onto a garage, and the homeowner had already cleared all the small stuff and moved his cars. With a four man crew, we had the main trunk down and chipped by lunch on day one, which never happens. What's the smoothest emergency job you've ever walked into?

Man, that sounds like a dream setup. My smoothest was probably a single pine that fell across a driveway, but the homeowner had already cut the top third into perfect fireplace lengths (they were oddly prepared). Basically just had to drop the spar and chip a few branches, felt like we were stealing money.

Wait, did you mean you dropped the spar after they already cut the top?

Nice, but ross.kevin's pine job sounds even smoother since the spar was already processed.
