its illegal to hang anything bigger than a 46 on your harness Peter:biggrin:

 

Say what now?!

 

I'd better say my goodbyes cos if thats true I'll be going inside for a long time, hardly a week goes by without a 660 dangling, and sometimes an 880 too.

That's a damn fine topping there Josh.

 

Client happy with final spec?

 

 

What was the reason for such a heavy reduction?

limbs look sound from shots, could'nt see any scars from past failures.

Included union, root/basal/stability issues?

 

 

cheers-d

:lol: you always ask "client happy with final spec" on my topping jobs!

 

tree was a fine specimen, totally healthy, a really nice tree, nowt wrong with it

 

the client wanted it felled as it was too close to the house, too big ect, she had had a reduction away from the roof, and crown clean back in 97, and decided she diddnt want to keep paying for a trim. felling was only ruled out because of the cost of transport of removing the timber and brash (around £700 for transport, then additional cost of hireing a machine to get timber/brash close enough to where a lorry could grab it) so spec was to reduce as hard as poss/pollard 3m from main fork, to an inner crown if possible, so i just butchered it down to where i thought best higher than the 3m suggested, but 80% of stubs has decent growth comming off, the remaining stubs are knuckles.

hopefully it will take, but i suspect chancer are that it will go crazy next year, then die

 

 

 

and the client was really happy :)

You are such a liar, Josh. You said your Swedish was improving. I've seen the job sheet and the spec was for a 12.45% crown reduction.

 

Here we are -

 

Oake tre next tu hoose - 12.45% krowne rejuice

 

You should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

 

For Gods sake man, it looks like one of mine!:001_tt2:
