In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

[silky fox]

So I got the crown out and dragged the branches into a yard to doors down...then back into the street....then back into another yard ....then I got the call would I bring a chipper on the day we took the stem down (once all the other branches were moved from under the trunk in the first yard🤦‍♂️

[silky fox]

So for a forth time he dragged the branches out and stacked them in the street for my mate to remove after the trunk was on the ground.If only he'd listened to me in the first place..All the timber was staying.

And he was pleased to see the last of his branches which only took minutes to chip.And were given to my local allotment.

But although the tree came down with no problem...there was one casualty (I've disguised it to keep his identity a secret)🤫

[silky fox]

With no sign of its mother we heard this little Tree rat squeaking in the ivy on the ground.Vermin they are and I'm not in the habit of taking them in or dispatching them my beighvour insisted on trying to raise it.The council just euthanasia them anyway and it was his Tree and property to do as he wanted...Did it survive?

Tune in later to find out🕵️‍♂️🐿

Once the dust and (and ivy) had settled on the job I went to see "Chipper" as my neighbours kids have named it.

[silky fox]

The tree took a day and a quarter to get down.He kept all the wood which was removed next day by a firewood guy and within a week or so all signs of the Tree were gone and the building work began.My friend does renovation on properties 

[silky fox]

And all traces of Chipper's home have gone.........🐿

[silky fox]

But he has survived and now is part of the family who live next door so I see him everytime I pass and they k now that he must stay with them for maybe up to as much as 20 years in captivity! But he is very much loved.
