beaten by a tree?

Oh well, dont worry matt, bet i`d have been on the floor before you came down! Dare say you can still go back to the job can you?

[Lee Winger]

Personally have never bottled it on a Tree,thats why its worth while to give it a good looking at when pricing ,Weigh up the options ,Could be a slippery slope if you start swerving jobs ,Theres enough safety/back up equipment to tackle any tree job ,Theres also the embarrasment factor with the customer ,,once again just my opinion for what its worth,

 

 

 

 

 

I know where the tree is, and how exposed the area is,your wrong in what you're saying Steve, most of us on here think Matty made the right decision for himself, and at the end of the day this is what counts, wouldn't you agree mate?

[MattyF]

steve please dont leave us over this,i respect your opinion mate.

any ways here is some photos of the culprit that broke me!

AS you can see i raised it up on that day and the woman i was working for just got me to fill the rest of the day with dead wooding some more sheltered ash so it was not a complete waste o time

nice open planes to get some proper windspeed up before it hits the tree

The unreduced limbs i bottled the overly long one was the one i didnt like as i new it would probaly have to be roped off itself with the added presure of wind i was worried it could break and take the phone and power lines out

[Steve Bullman]

you could re-direct the lowering line from the main trunk rather than roping it off on the limb only

[MattyF]

well that was the plan as you can see its quite out of proportion to the rest of the crown and any main load anchore points would of been lower so if it had snapped it still would of probaly sailed in to the lines...also a theres no decent anchore point so i probaly would of gone for a quite large section to rope out as i didnt want to go out to far in the wind!but its the plan for when i go back...i was tempted just to cut them and they probaly would of flown the wires but a bit to much of a gamble if there was a sudden lull in the wind

Personally, I feel you are a pussy Matty, and should start climbing in a dress

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding

As I understand it, Matty did'nt bottle the tree - he just felt under the weather conditions, it would have been counterproductive to continue.

What's wrong with climbing in a dress?
