the 'todays job' thread

Yeah it doesn't look good I know but we did take 18" plus off the front so it was never going to be pretty, it had been left way too long before trying to bring it under control and yep hopefully become a nice regular job now.

Hey, your only doing what you're told to do.

Could you not have convinced him to bring it at least 2ft below gutter level? then you've a chance of keeping it from under the tiles.

Zooming in on the roof, it probably lets water in anyway.

[SKStrees]

We did originally want to bring it down to at least the top of the windows but he was worried that the guttering may come down when we took the ivy off! (Tbh he may be right as when we did the back there was a 6ft length of iron gutter balancing over the back door attached to nothing!) Roofs shot and the backs worse than the front as well.

Looks like it.

Nowt so queer as folk, as they say.

I was under the impression drop crotching was used to reduce the whole crown. Cutting back to a growth point that is one third of the retaining branch.

 

 

Correct Rich.

Any other explanation is wrong.

Keep up the good work.

Bit of crafty work this afternoon after a spot of pricing.

Minimalistic rustic chunky is what they wanted and i think that's what I gave them?

[Orchard]

That is really smart mate! Is that stainless threaded bar as the supports?

[Gray git]

Yes 20mm stainless, was going to use 6 but 4 was steady anough and started with 3 shelves stepped to depth but top needed to be lower to clear the pictures so 2 looked better.

[Orchard]

Well big thumbs up from me it looks really well! Nice one

[Mountain man]

Looks good, shame about the iron stain bottom shelf left end.
