Default Tree trimming

I had several Elm tree branches growing over the roof of my lawn equipment shed and shop pole barn roofs. I had contracted with a tree service back in May to do this, but they kept putting me off, as it was a fill-in job when they were in the area and we have had several storms that knocked down many trees and limbs in the area. This is exactly why I hired the contractor in the first place, so these limbs wouldn't come down and my roofs get damaged.... sigh. So what does a DIY guy do ? Go rent a 45' boomlift and git-r-done myself. Not the first time I've done this, but it's always spooky swaying around in a basket up this high. Last pic is the saw I used. I bought this Milwaukee 8" "Axe" battery powered saw and man does that cut. I did the whole job with just this saw and only went thru 2 batteries. Amazing little saw.
Had it home and set up by 8 am, cut nearly none stop until 12:15 pm, had a 45 minute lunch break and finished cutting at 2:30 pm. Cleaned it off, took it back and when I got home my wife was knocking down the brushy limbs and loading the 2 place snowmobile trailer to haul it to recycling on Wednesday, so jumped in with her and we had 90% of it loaded by 4:30.
