No sorry, in and out.

 

If it were Chicken of the woods, how would that affect any prognosis ?

Well today's job for me was the first conifer hedge top crawl of the season. You don't need a picture.

Chicken would be brown rot more targeted at the old heart wood, Merip - white rot targeting roots.

Nice sunny day. Couple syc dismantles for a neighbour. Done by lunch time. No rigging, dry stone wall is getting rebuilt anyways so wasnt bothered if i smashed it. Left a mess for them to tidy - loving those tidy up free jobs!

Yeah sods law. The wall near tree down from the one in the pic had a huge bulge and my neighbour encouraged me to batter it as he had to take it down anyway. Quite wierd deliberately hitting a drystone wall.

Went to crane this windblown off a footpath the other day and had to abandon ship because there was a huge Hornets nest on there. Brave man up there from pest control , they were very angry

We have an adapted line marker spray gun with a looooong handle welded on. Use cans of wasp nest killer- it really is an instant knockdown, but you'd want to use probably three cans for a big nest...and I'm not sure I'd have the balls around hornets!

Not a today post but were currently in the Netherlands until mid this week. So here's a few pictures of what we've been up to.

Meeting Bob Vermeer was an incredible thing for me, he sits down starts chatting away and I had to do a triple take at his name badge.

I hope you all enjoy and some pictures aren't arb related but more machinery.
