Choke point for access is a 2 1/2’ wide gate, which wouldn’t have come out without a load of mither, and felling some shrubs.

As long as you’ve the money on it for a handball extraction it’s ok.

We sort of feel we’ve won, we can knock it over when it gets to just below where Ross’s feet are.

But it’s a 3’ diameter butt and it’s all got to be handballed up the garden, down a side alley, across a front lawn and onto the trucks.

 

Nah. It's all elbowy. Bad roll, lawn dents. Miserable chogging for the same reason but there are two of you.

I was climbing for someone once who said I could just fell a pair of butts on a block paved yard. One a bit under 3' DBH, one a bit over. I talked him out of it and chogged them onto pads, hugely unenjoyably. Suspect I was the stupid one there.

If it dents, it dents….

Muck truck is 28" wide.

 

Probably not helpful at this point.

Not necessarily Dan, if you can get to Willesborough in Ashford for 8.30?

[Dan Maynard]

Tempting, honestly, but got to be sat in front of a computer all day.

[Mark Bolam]

Down by 9.30.

 

Barely dented.

Reminds me of a lad who used to subby a bit to me as he was setting himself up to go full time on his own - he wasn’t the best climber (but was a really decent likeable fella). 
Another subby ended up working for both of us and overheard him talking to a prospective new customers when quoting a (not very difficult) dismantle. His price included the caveat ‘Expect some damage’ said with a totally straight face 😂😂😂!

It became a bit of an in-joke when quoting awkward jobs - he was deadly serious though!
