Would you climb this?

The secret is to sneak up on it and then run up it, you need to cut off your own body weight before the tree realizes whats going on.

throw a line up over top, running bl, winch her off the shed - drap her.

i'd get some scaffolding off a local builder for the day and frame over the greenhouse then work from that nice and safe:001_smile:, or just tiptoe up with a silky all sneaky like so it doesn't see you coming:thumbup:

 

i did that with a job once.

 

had a large dead cherry over a green 10x8 house. i built 2 scaffold platforms at either end & put some 3.6m rails across & covered the green house with 3 or 4 sterling boards.

Stupid as it sounds you haven't under priced if thats the price you can do it for and make what you want to out of it, thats how you should quote.

 

totally agree, felled 2 dead pops leaning wrong way towards 100,000 eu worth of marble( stone masons yard, he couldn't move it) last week for 130 eu, had a spare day, he has lots more work for me, undercut the mewp, thats 130 i wouldn't have had otherwise. if you feel you can do it without ending up in a&e and are happy with price then why not? only issue is taking unnecessary risks because of the money....

[peckerwoo]

whereabouts in sheff is it gerbutt?

I can help you with whatever you decide to do on Friday?

Personally I`d try a "a-la Fred Dibnah style" and make a fire around the root upheave then retire at no risk leaving the shed and greenhouse to fate whilst munching on tea and scones as the weather gonna be ok friday lol

:lol:i can just see you doing that:thumbup:

seriously though, i will cut down any tree in any situation if the money is right, and for the right money you can either pocket it all and take the risk or bring in the right tools for the job to make it safer.

For £150 i would fell it at the base and walk away,after with explaing the possible damage. Jobs like that are not crazy dangerous but the payment needs to be able to cover anything that goes wrong, would it be worth your insurance excess? and still make a proft because that is why we are there, to make money not save the day, thats for Batman and Robin remember:biggrin:

Boarded over the green house.

Working from a henchman platform and took the branches off

with a polesaw.

You may have to rig up some way of catching heavier material.

I polesawed thin rings off.

 

My thoughts exactly, even if you just pole saw so you can see whats going on a bit better before you chose another method.
