all good fun

went to this chestnut sat pm the owner wanted some weight taking off the adjacent elm had fallen down and the chestnut had leant oner a lot more bottom branches were 10 feet lower sorry no before photos just spent 1.5 hours removing all the lower and long extending branches to try to stop if falling over so it could be dropped later still very windy and rocking all over the place

Loved every bit of it loads of splits and barber chairs far too windy but it pays the bills was £20 too much for all that fun

[Steve Bullman]

you ripped them off big time

[Mike Hill]

I'd have never given you £20,because you probably going to make a fortune selling all those Branches.

[Ross Winchester]

trying to take some heavy limbs and wind pressure away so it would not fall over on to footpath walls and stables but it still needs to come down awaiting insurance assessor now which is absolutely ridiculous as even though we have shut the path folk are still using it and no mater what the insurance says it still needs to come down sooner rather than later but if its cut down before the assessor sees it they wont pay up

Leaving stubs makes it easier to climb next time Bob :wave:

Most of the insurance jobs I do, the insurance will only pay for damage the tree has done, they won't pay for the tree to be cleared.
