Todays job - Norway maple

[John Hancock]

My-God is was cold this morning! Back on the riverside today, felling a fairly large Norway maple as part of a large riverside development project. The tree was host to ganoderma and there was major dead wood within the crown. It will be replaced..

 

The climber was Chris Bedford and I had young Tom the apprentice felling it (the largest tree he's done by far!)

The sun came out after a while.....

[John Wilson]

Looked like a hell of day bish bash bosh.

[Mr Ed]

Goodness me John! you look surprisingly efficient for a local authority gang!

Nice-one Mr Ed !

 

To be honest I run the team as if it was my own business. We're Arbs first, employees of the authority second. I am getting itchy feet though.....I'd love to go-it alone!

[Dean Lofthouse]

Nice days work there John, just one critisism.

It was cold this morning, on my way up the ladders at 8am and my hands were like blocks of ice..

 

Nice job John, most of your threads you stack all the cordwood in nice neat piles, almost like you are leaving it on site...do you not have a drop ? or does the authority work allow for habitat/free firewood piles..??

Its on a flood-plane mate, so can't leave it on-site or even chip there! Got some hill-billies coming tomorrow to pick all the wood up. They've had all the Beech too, someone is on to a good thing! (not me though)
