Anything capable of performing 160 million floating-point operations per second should be able to sort a small tree out.

No-one can answer this completely. Perhaps there is just a vague fear of shrinkable clay issues. For heave, there is such a combination of factors that ALL have to be present that it is statistically unlikely. If the surveyor is in possession of all the facts (geology, foundation depths, history, tree species/age/distances) nothing we can say is of any use. If he isn't, then we don't have the facts and nothing we can say is of any use.

Par four here, should have gone with the obvious. Wordle 1,543 4/6* ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Morning, first frost here this morning, -1 in places. Blue sky all round and a day in the digger after a 13 hour shift yesterday driving and Robo on steep ground so be good to get a seat.

Staged reduction is pretty pointless. If you have fully desiccated soil on shrinkable clay with a high PI, the soil will eventually return to it’s original volume whether the trees are removed in stages or in one hit. Or get chalara and die. Was the house there before the trees? Are the foundations substantial enough? Only a full structural engineers report will tell you. In our current climate we seem to get bone dry summers followed by months of flood. The soil is expanding and contracting with or without trees. Hopefully the report will indicate that they can be removed without problems, they look awful.

Morning all, Mewp job this morning getting a hung up oak branch off BT cables. Then finish one of yesterday’s hedges.

As above, neither of the creation scenarios make sense, nor does life springing up from primordial puddles and eventually making us???

Huge question in a small package. If you reduce it further you have to either pin your hopes on the strangest of things, either a universe that pops into existence from nothing with no way of us understanding why or a universe that pops into existence from nothing by way of an uncreated creator? Neither can be proven and are just taken on by faith.

Hi there, pretty new to all this and am wondering if anyone would have surplus logs that they need tipping in the forest area
