Been out all dfay helping CTS/ dangerous Briean clearing a large ish turkey oak from the road in penzance........Brian finished at 3am this morning, i dont think cts has had any sleep for the last 24 hrs on power line call outs, and is still out now. Its chaos down here! Looks like out again tomorrow going round finishing off various jobs...80mph gusts werent uncommon last night.

Thought I was not going to get any calls, then 2.30 a friend phones up saying their neighbours Birch has gone over and caught in his Pine tree - good job it did as his conservatory was the other side!!

 

Apart from the Pine it got caught in there was only one other pine which I was able to get the lowering rope up and over a branch and back down onto the Birch trunk anout 2/3rds up to tie it off and stop it falling further. Then up the Pine tree it was hung up in too start cutting it free - don't you love it when you get to the last bit that is supporting it, and not being quite sure what is going to happen when you cut it!!

 

Got it down ok and the shed and fence survived.

 

Times like that I wish I had a GRCS to lift the tree up.

big dead elm fell over behind my house, but i reckon it was all the rain that caused it more than the wind

apart from drizzle and the odd heavy shower it's been a normal day up here... heard there have been 100mph winds recorded down south. Gutted.

just out of curiosity, what do you guys charge for an emergency call out? even if you look and see its safe to leave till the following day??

 

Thanks

just seen a fairly large lime with the root plate ripped out of the ground in camberwell with city suburban sorting it out and about 20 PCSO's 'directing' traffic. it had demolished some iron railings and a lamppost but didn't see any cars under it or people thankfully, as it was over 2 lanes coming up to a very busy junction. stupidly i didn't get any pictures

Wind has dropped right off here now but it was blowing hard for two days, I will await Monday when the council get back to work for any call outs.

Eucy split accross 2 gardens-customers settled in cash but short changed me by £20 and as Ash on a house.

 

Monday will be the day, seen a few La trees roped off not to mention NT
