yeah i've heard that, anyway, I think you'll find they want you to use the term 'stump chipping' not stump grinding as we all call it.

 

from the draft -

 

NOTE Mechanical destruction of a stump by stump chipping is less disruptive to the site than digging out.

 

The section on stump grinding is titled - 'Stump Chipping' and makes several references to stump chipping.

 

who are these people?!

[Mani]

finally, just finished reading the entire draft proposal.

 

Shredding is too good for it.

[Lee Winger]

so thats why my grinder has so few hours, i'm using the wrong terminology in my marketing , stump chipping...lol

 

Like you say Mani who are these people? can we actualy find out?

[Bundle 2]

Mani.

 

Do you actually have anything constructive to say about the draft 3998?

 

Anything at all? Any detailed suggestions on how to improve it?

 

(I'm guessing that you'll come back with something along the lines of "burn it", so please surprise me and don't bother being so predictable.)

How unusual. In my experience, the use of enough explosives can solve nearly any problem.

 

Ha ha ha spot on man, a small ammount in the right place will solve any problem...

My Grandad's brother used to make his living blowing stumps out with explosives, those were the days before health and safety. He gave up eventually when he was asked to demolish some building in Hull and blew out the windows along a whole street.

 

Those were the days.

I couldn't take the document seriously when I saw all the Americanized spellings. it lost credibilty right there. the industry uses stump grinders and we carry out stump grinding not 'stump chippers' to carry out 'stump chipping'! sounds like something from Dad's Army!

 

Right Boys! Break out the stump chipper! the Germans are coming!

 

 

On the subject of stump grinders, there was no mention of barrier boards or detecting underground utilities before grinding. i'll need to look through again but there are loads of things that need changed.

By assessing the pros and cons shown in Table 3, one of the following three end-results should be selected:

 

a) live stump retained;

 

b) dead stump retained;

 

c) dead stump removed.

 

does this mean we cant remove live stumps anymore :confused1:
