[Old Mill Tree Care]

Oh no, they're coming back to me now!

 

Reversed Unimog into drive way, dropped chipper, engaged chipper and pushed a load of brush in.

Upon turning round to pick up more brush I noticed the woodchips flying over my head and through the clients stained glass window.

I'd forgotten to turn the chipper spout into the Mog!!

Got into loaded ( fraction under 10t) Unimog and reversed down the road. Kept reversing nicely and then saw my two newish hedge cutters on the road, in ten thousand pieces. Bugger!

A month ago I was doing skip truck work jumped into skip with one hand on side flinging legs over top, the skip was resting on the back of the truck and dropped about 6 inches which completely threw me out of sync. Mid flight gravity seemed to tractor beam me to the floor. I intercepted the side of the skip bashed left thigh which left a 10 x 4 inch beautiful dark purple bruise, which didn't hurt that much. But my left hand took the fall on the fingertips, which still isnt right.

 

Daft thing is I had previously thought of being careful as I knew skip was resting on the truck

I snapped both boot laces and snapped a chain once. Although I know a member who accidently locked himself in the customers shed while making a phone call. I had to drop back down to perform a ground rescue (all be it from himself)

jesus......

 

threw a ring off an Ash and watched in horror as it disappeared through a man hole cover disguised as a pile of sawdust.

 

felled a fair sized Beech stick perfectly between a wall and garage, the stick then rolled in slow motion 90 degrees to the left and settled nicely against the wall leaving it at a gravity defying 40 degrees.

 

replaced a shed for the cost of the job. sold the firewood to pay the day.

 

rolled a stump grinder.

 

drove a mini digger into a septic tank.

 

discovered the reason why you need to be extra carefully where you set down the fuel can when working with a Jenson chipper.

 

the list goes on and is ever expanding............
