Looks good Conor,are you self taught?

Thanks. Learning as I go, plenty of help from a neighbour too.

A few from last week taking out a beech with a compromised root system and a rather large pipe of a sycamore

Outstanding organisation . K

Cant go back any further, dont own the plantation behind. 

Who owns the trees on the line? It’s the sort of thing I’d do if I wanted to stir up an argument with a neighbour.

Ah. Hang on. It’s probably one of those conventions where the property line falls on one side of the wall rather than down the middle?

Why start an argument with a neighbour? Our neighbours are sound people. We are lucky that way!

I own the trees and the ditch. Property line has markers on each corner. This was done on my insistence when buying the land. Straight lines between each marker. Simples. Cant be dealing with that shared ownership crap. It's either yours or it's not as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds well organised. Well done.

Looks like your in the shade anyway connor 

Thankfully, yes. About a 10° difference under the trees. Nice breeze today, spent a few hours at it but I've packed it in for the day now. We have a weather station in the garden with a sensor in the polytunnel, 27° in the sun but 38.6 in the tunnel. The weeding can wait!

Looked at a lot of old places before we bought this plot, almost all had issues with boundaries, access, planning etc. The man we bought off owns all the surrounding land except one small field. He was happy to make the boundaries more "sensible" (at my cost of course!) 

Although to be fair, the same man was clearing land in spring and allowed me to take all the stone, about 200 tons, for free. Most is field stone but there is good cut stone in it too.

There’s no excuse for it with the accuracy of mapping, gps etc these days. I’m constantly amazed at people’s lax attitudes towards it. One of my ideas for making money is offering a combined surveying and property litigation service. I could go round country pubs, stirring up trouble for people stealing field boundaries from each other etc.

100%, we've been surveying a lot of vicarage and rectorys recently and part of my scope is to measure and check the boundaries are correct. Most are but I've had 3 sites where the neighbours claimed the hedge is there's and tried to take a few metres of land. In 1 case the knackered tree turned out to be the churches, just the fence was the wrong side. [emoji23]
