Saw this today

[Hodge]

Got a call yesterday of a guy, he had started taking a tree down and couldn't do the top as his scaffolding was not tall enough! We went to Finnish the tree which was a large Connie this morning and when we got there he was taking an oak down, he was cuttin the branches with a bow saw and when it came to topping down he just cut through the stem, his mate was on a rope pulling like mad, as he had no gob the top went backwards and nearly knocked him off the scaffold! We quickly got the Connie down and got out of there.
