Fast work fellas.

 

Is that a power cable visible in pic 2?

 

Yeah it is, but the angle of the picture is a bit deceiving, it was clear after the lower side had the crown stripped. There was also a phone line that had to be untangled from a sycamore which had stretched it horizontally to its limit, and under the line of the ash. We tied the phone line back to the syc with a rope once I had trimmed the branches out.

 

The other reason the uphill side of the tree had to be striped out before the fell was that it would have weighted the tree to much to ensure an accurate fall, and probably wound up in the house and ornamental flower bed thing. As it happened this was a pretty wise decision given the level of decay in the base.(pics tomorrow)You could easily get your arm into the stump past you elbow, and the same in the bottom of the butt, and you could grab huge handfuls of decayed timber, not only wet stuff but also fluffy/ stringy/ powdery stuff.
