Nightmare morning .

[Stubby]

ok . Very sensitive walnut that had been worked on illegally in the past . TPO etc . Very narrtow and tight access with flint walls . We are to meet the tree officer ( who we like and get on with very well ) The customer wants it reduced to within an inch of the ground and T.O. says 10% reduction with 10% thinning . There is the painter and decorater there doing out side and inside work . We say can you move your car ( to painter ) so that we can get chipper and canter near to the action . he reluctantly says ok and promptly puts a huge dent in his wing after hitting chipper . ( big lip out ) I postion chipper with my nissan navara Hoping

to put Canter with chip box there after . I drive pick up out again tearing my plastic wheel arch off as I go round the canter .He puts his car back where canter needs to go . I say we need to put canter there to catch the chip, he very grumpy . We do the job and go . Feel sorry for him as he just came to do a days work and now he will have to pay the excess on his premium and all the other inconvenience that goes with it . The customer will think she hasdnot got much bang for her buck and the whole day was shite . Does amy one else have them ?

I did a job earlier in the week, met the TO on site to discuss what we were going to do and it was slightly less than what the customer had in mind, I thought the end product looked good but it wasn't enough for them, no vehicular damage though.

You got off lightly then !

Sometimes other trades on site can be a nightmare... But then again we do take up all the room!

 

Had a nightmare day couple weeks back. First job was to take a foot off a beech hedge, Quite tight to climb through, About half way through I feel a stabbing in my back, thought hey it's just be the bit of holly growing through it... I can take that. Then I felt another then another... then another ...and fffffffffffaaaaaaa wasps everywhere... Tried to come down so fast my boot got stuck in a fork went hanging upside down getting stung all over! Nightmare... But the customer was fine that we could come back another day either in winter or after he exterminated them

 

Then ....

 

Second job of the day... A Larch take down.. Really odd shape, had like 4 stems the same height from about 10ft up... So I've dismantled two of the three stems and I'm climbing half way up the 3rd and I see a Bee.. Nerves start to go but it flys off. Climb abut higher and see an old nest so I poke my head level with it to see if anything was going on with it and see a bee fly out and just my luck... A bloody bees nest.. Thought right not having this again come down told the customer and didn't get the response I was after .. "what?? It's only a few bees" she said, to which point I showed her my back and arms from the wasps in the morning and said we can finish the job once the bees are dealt with.

 

Just one of them days... Two unfinished jobs and nothing but pain for the day.

Well,

Team of us out strimming long grass in a rural area of Brittany when 3 Velociraptors came after us from all sides.

We ran for the truck but they caught the work experience lad and ripped him apart as we made our escape by throwing ourselves over some falls where my groundy got snatched mid fall by a flying lizard and carried off to be fed to its young.

I hit a deep pool and blacked out. When I came too I was tied to a cross over a roaring fire with naked semi-evolved simians dancing and waving spears at my man bits all shouting the latin names of trees I have trouble with like Metasequoia glyptosroboidies...

Now that was a genuine nightmare.

What you had was just a SH#T morning....hhhhhh!
