Didnt look a fraction of the size till you see the stem lieing on the ground with you standing next to it! Massive good job

My old mini ramp was pretty rotten and I couldnt be bothered to re-surface it, so I turned it into a log store

Rotten looks good to me ! Mind u it would probably be like that scene in freddy got fingered when they finally finish the mini ramp and the dude breaks his leg if I dropped in now!

It was pretty rotten, i almost put my foot through it when i stood on it, let alone dropping in on it! It didn't get much use anyway, as you can see.

Hahaha think I'm gonna have to put that on tonight now!

Picked up a few bits and pieces from Fr Jones. Impact block, 60m 16mm polydine rope and thought I would try out the newish RC2001, 2t fixed bollard.

 

Tree was reduced about 3 years ago so all regrowth was just cut and chucked and then rigged the tips and timber. Took it easy as there was 2 days in the job. Had a truck load of chip, dumped in the paddock and a truck load of logs. Back tomorrow to finish off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The RC2001 is a great tool, lighter than the 3001 but rock solid when snatching timber. Took a few big bits to get worn in but once going it was fine.

Nice one rich, didn't fancy a fell?

[Rich Rule]

Not my job mate, only contract climbing. Ideal for the fell into the paddock but the landlord of the property wanted it dismantled and the fell would have probabley knackered the retaining wall between the gardens and the paddock.

 

Easy enough day, finished by 2pm, home by 2.15. Literally it was 2 miles from my house. Back tomorrow for more of the same.

 

You keeping busy Max?

[Mark Bolam]

That's what I first thought, but I reckon there's a fair back lean there.

 

Looking forward to having a play with that next week Rich.

 

Big tree there Matty, nice one.
