Just had a fun drive home playing dodge the blown down limbs and avoid the police man:001_tongue:

Would suggest anyone who wants to try grab some emergency call out work, put a local gumtree add asap as google pulls it up high in the rankings

Just finished one and only callout for today. Split Pussy Willow overhanging next door's shed.

 

Took one of the top branches out and was swaying around like a monkey, got my silkie scabbard caught and next thing the scabbard snaps pulling the saw out straight across my arm. Did'nt notice the cut until the customer pointed out all the blood across my forearm!

 

He said you must be mad to do this and gave me a £20.00 tip!

well we taken a hammering today in banchory, aberdeenshire. Had to give up on the mewp work at half one when limbs of trees started coming past!

 

Place is hammered. going to take an age to tidy up, lots of split conifers down, most lumps around 40 - 50 feet in length. old 266 going to get a nice workout tommorow clearing the trees off drive. pain in the rear cause we got a mewp on hire for mon, tues, wed to do some hedge cutting.
