Nice love the coronet cuts. Fairplay for going up in todays wind. Been dealing with all the windblow we've had down here. Then some nice felling partial blown which was a pita.

Nice work.

Shame the wind got too great and we had to ground the platform.

Cool. Is that last photo the finished job? Was the work to reduce the size and weight alone or do you hope it will form a new crown lower down?

Didn't get it finished today due to the high winds that kicked up mid morning. The crown was in quite a bad way as the top sections were so brittle but the lower crown still has life so instead of just felling it i agreed with the client to 'hammer it' Fingers crossed it will kick out a new lower crown but if it dies atleast its still got ivy and coro's for a bit of habitat.

Very good, might even have to get a helmet cam
