Key Questions:  1) Will it fit in the elevator?; 2) IS THERE an elevator?

When you see a crane outside a commercial property, it’s usually hoisting a piece of HVAC-related equipment (heating, cooling, electrical) onto the roof that’s too big to fit in an elevator.

By contrast, when you see a crane outside a residential home, there’s usually** just one explanation:  trees.

Specifically, a dead tree.

The crane pictured above is removing a dead oak tree in front of a home on Sunset Boulevard just west of Cedar Lake.

The crew — employed by Rainbow Tree Care — expects to be done by noon today.

**The one exception?

New construction.   See also, “100′ Crane Lifts Trusses Into Place in Fern Hill.
