I've lost count of what we've done now Gary.

Feel a bit conflicted about it all because the damage to people's property and the problems they're having to deal with like no power and phone etc, have seen a few in tears today, but... I love it when there's no mucking about, just smash a way through and on to the next one, worry about tidying up next week sometime.

Really hard not to look too happy!

I know the feeling and I still smile when I see the different coloured tiles on the roof of a hose which we lifted a sycamore off 34 years later.

This this this!!!

We’ve been flat out since dawn, and back out there tomorrow first thing but this is genuinely enjoyable work! Get there, weigh it up, chop stuff down/winch stuff off buildings/open roads etc, leave it in a pile and go!

That terrible day for someone was a memorable day for you!

Exactly, no chipping or raking just big saws and machinery. Enjoy yourself tomorrow.

The  roadside work went on for about a week when my wife and I backed the County and grapple loader up the road to the highest point in SE Englad and down the other side to access the dozen or so houses.

That sounds like an interesting week, what storm led to that?

The Audi on the rootplate of the first tree we did Saturday morning, passed it today with time to take a pic. Couple of minor scratches on it...
